Given the thickness of the fingers, I'm inclined to think that it's for removing things that are threaded into a component, and have slots cut at the edges.  For instance, some fuel tank float/sender are built that way.  Or drum nuts.  Or something similar.

I think there may be plumbing components that are similar, too.

Adjustable valve lapping socket. The two tabs on the right fit into a slot or in some cases 2 holes on the face of the valve to turn the valve to lap the sealing surfaces.

my thoughts were the same as Bill300d;

 I have Walden's tool co.'s  VG2   and VG3  valve lappers,  one is short  and stubby and the other is long handled.

 the end that fits into the top of the valve looks like those tabs.

 somewhere I have a Mossberg,  I think that one is adjustable, it is also a long handled brace style lapper.

When I enlarge your photo I can see marking on the last pic. Is that a circle with an H inside I would guess Hinesdale
