detail and there are facets (tangs) at the top of the bit. I suspect it's a circle cutting bit for a brace.

UA100

Washer cutter. The central spike is for guidace only, the two cutters point downwards and slice a washer out of red fibre or lead sheet. Pretty common plumber's tool.

There's often a thicker single cutter that goes with it. That's a tank cutter for making holes in water tanks.

Thanks for the help guys!

*****************************************************It looks like a circle cutter and with the second blade it could also be a round gasket cutter.

I have a modern version that is almost identical.
