The thing about square pipe is that it requires very special taps and dies.

With the upper pivot point you could really clamp onto some extreme rectangles, whatever it is.

Hello, skipskip. Enterprise made shoe lats, could yours be for the shoe trade, or leather working? I'm probably way off, because what you have there looks pretty heavy duty. Regards, Lou

Lou,
now that you mention the shoe repair, the opening on the right looks like the stand. One of them is on the upper left of the pic and a bucket full of different sized shoes. Now how would Skip's clamp work with something like these? mounted on the side of a bench?

 my guess is also a pipe vise, looking at the opening on the left, the 4 grooved contact points on an angle would grip the pipe.

  on the right, it looks like a smaller pipe clamp.

I got two piles of tools that day.

One from a lawn tractor graveyard

the other from a shoe repair shop, which explains the cobblers stuff

this came from the tractor place , so I am going with the pipe vise theory

Hello, Skip. I have given up on the idea of that being a leather working tool. I have tried to find any kind of square tubing vise, but no luck. Do you think that the crank handle could put enough torque to swage the end of a thin wall square tube? Just a thought!!! Regards, Lou
