when I got this I said 'saw set' but now I think its other than that
no names have surfaced yet, but still cleaning
when you turn the crank the chuck with the square hole spins
when you squeeze the handles the flat blade forces the item into whatever the chuck holds
maybe for setting a bandsaw?

That is gizmotic for sure!

I believe it’s a wrench for tightening the bolt on wooden wagon wheels that goes through the tyre and the felloes.
Here’s a link to a similar one

I fool with wagons sometimes. I just happened to recognize your tool.

This is only the second I have seen. Did bolt a wooden wheel tire once, with an end wrench, this would be much better. You didn't mention if it is for sale?
-
yup for sale
PM me and we'll work things out

The Stanley book by John Walters shows this tool with a value of $150-$250 but ONLY IF it's marked Stanley. I sold a generic one on eBay a few years ago less than $50 I think
