Reefer ratchet. For fridges and coolers of all kinds.
  With no mark I am guessing Indestro from the construction.

 It surely had a paper label for a hardware chain on it when new. Bellknap, LF&C, Western Auto or Pennys, ........somebody

4490 is the correct number for Duro/Indestro...

12 pt socket end is odd.....
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

That's neat, never seen one. Something more to add to my wishlist
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
