Hi nesmtl, Welcome to tool talk.  A wild guess is that it's a device to hold ice skates for sharpening.

Good guess Mike!As an "oldgoaly" who even bought a stone for the local rink to have a custom grind on my 1974 Riedel's. I would not have guessed that was a skate holder!
Any idea on the age of the tool? Wonder who's skates it sharpened?Eddie Shore? Toe Blake? Dit Clapper? hey I did it got a Slapshot reference in a tool post!
