Oh my, you're so close! Close enough for gubmint work, I guess.

The mason who produced this tool hated to lose mortar when connecting two cinder blocks. Too often the mortar fell into the holes in the block and could not be retrieved. This tool was made to be positioned on top of a block, the mortar was then placed on the block, next the tool was removed, and another cinder block placed on top. The person who invented this created 5 or 6 similar ones but the design of each was somewhat different.
