you guys are great.. thank you. Now that I'm retired I volunteer at a thrift store and someone donated it. No one had any idea what it was.. I was voting some kind of saw based on the teeth but most thought it was some sort of trowel. Vindicated! Thanks again!!

You're correct in terms of what it is used for, but the question was 'What is it called?' Your answers are like a man seeing a hammer and calling it 'the thingy what you holds in your hand to bash windows and knock the nails into the wood.'
Slane?
I believe it's spelled, "slean".

If my fading memory serves me correctly, that type of peat cutting spade is called a tusker.
A sleán, I believe.

For bashing windows I'd use a brick.
