Unknown tool

[D G 1Participant @dg1]

Hi there,

I inherited this tool (check pictures) with my lathe. I have absolutely no idea what it is for. I would be very grateful if someone could identify it.

10mm spanner in the background for scale.

Thanks in advance!

Or for a star wheel dresser for a surface grinder? Is the base of the block ground flat (and magnetic!)?

However, I've only ever seen surface and cylindrical grinders dressed using mounted diamonds, which I occasionally use on my 6 inch bench grinder.
