Post a photo of a more or less unusual tool and see if anyone can identify it.

Nope. It's a woodworking/carpentry tool (Japanese).

^Shugart is correct. That's a Japanese Nintoku nail used in siding construction. Inscription reads "Fujikiyo", the brand name.

Yup, a nail set. Much better than the typical Western ones, IMHO.

I thought this was going in a completely different direction.

It's a Pickett. Named after the legendary Confederate General, Wilson Pickett, who refused to lead a charge at the battle of Gettysburg, which he later wrote a popular song about. Also less know, his refusal is where the modern term "picketing" comes from. It's a fact, you can look it up.

My "Pickett" is a slide rule. It's in the garage and I might even be able to find it.
