Amongst some of my father’s old tools I found a lump of steel.
What is it and how would it be used? I’m guessing it’s used in engineering measurement somehow.

'Reference blocks' were used to scribe marks on items, for one thing.
HSS tool blank for a lathe?
One of a pair of parallels (mostly) for use in a milling machine?
That would have been my guess as well...
