Why not a pattern, it looks like one!

Read what is given.
Machetts is- and Google says- it's a shop. Google says Machett shop is in Belfast
Google says its a music shop.
Oh dear. Oh dear. And it still exists.

Fergus,
You mis-spelled your search word. It is Machfitt which when Googled takes you to Machfitt Flooring and other locations.
My guess for the use would be a paper weight as it appears to have been handled quite a bit.

Fergus OMore:
Ah well, I got to Machett Music and it
is probably 'Machine Fitting Shop'
So it looks like a mould for a gear.
What a shame to find it so boring :doh:
AdeV:
No-one has explained the word "slot" yet.
Machfitt Shop Slot?
Slot Machfitt Shop?
Shop Slot Machfitt?
Googling returns nothing useful; Machfitt flooring as already mentioned (doesn't explain shot; or shop particularly well).
There's no sign of Machfitt in either the Domesday book or 1911 census (or earlier). Could Machfitt be German, i.e. this was something that came over during or after WW1 or 2? Again, google is unhelpful.
If it were not stamped, I would have suggested it was an engineer's exercise, judging by the lines drawn on the teeth; I would definitely think it was handmade, but as to its purpose or maker, it would seem the required information is not yet online...
Fergus OMore:
Apologies- Ade!
See my boring correction.
Cheers
