Yes, indeed!!! A right angle corner chisel for those hard to reach, tight 
corners. Wow! What a gag!!!!

Only one?  

The bevel is only on one side, so you'd need a pair - left-handed and
right-handed.

You also need a couple small mirrors to fabricate a periscope to help you see
around the corner at what you're chiseling.

After cleaning up the picture I could see that it was a welded up
abortion. I see no sense in this modification, though it was easy to do.

  Say, I wonder if it'd come back, after you gave it a good hard toss?

Nah - it's not curved enough to be a rare boomerang chisel. (they used 
those in the mines down under - if you dropped it while climbing down 
the shaft it just fell down until it picked up speed and then curved 
back to you.)
No, I think this is one of those military chisels the combat engineers 
used for chiseling around corners without getting shot at.

If it did come back, I sure don't want to try to catch it.  Although, that
one doesn't appear to be very sharp.

Something the seller, if he succeeds, won't be concerned about. Who he 
chiselled I mean!

P.S. A little off topic, although still a hand powered device, I have 
succeeded in installing Windows on an old Burroughs adding machine. I 
know what you're thinking, not possible, but it's true!
