This is also used to peel potatoes and the top was used to “cut” out potato “eyes.

This was used to peel carrots but also potatoes. The sharp end was used to cut out potato “eyes”, those small imperfections the peeler just missed.

Apple or carrot peeler.

What a bunch of silly responses. Anyone can tell the square bottom part is a small harmonica.

That's what the pointed end is for.

You are referring to the end opposite the peeler, below the handle...I have never seen that but my first thought was could it be used to make French fries

Its a vegetable or potato peeler. The very top takes the eyes out of the potato.

That's a potato peeler though it can be used to peel other things as well. The top is for removing the eyes from the potato.
