| Dimensions help. It looks like an old fashioned dot roller, for roughing concrete but I've never seen one quite this small. |

| Calliope is correct. That is a concrete dot roller. Little hand jobs like that were pretty common actually. Typically used when doing the final floating/finishing of concrete. If you overdo the final floating, it tends to draw the cement to the surface and cause "neat cement" that peels off later, or leaves an un-uniform "glossy" spot on the surface. A hand dot roller or line roller comes in pretty handy to remix the surface cement and sand "on the fly" that may not necessarily require a full sized dot roller. They were also used among potters I believe. |
