Years ago I had some odd shaped "irons" multiple heads one quick release  handle, showed signs of heat but no solder or wax or ??? got them at a local auction with some other foundry items, sure thought they were for lost wax casting patterns.
Turned out they were veterinary tools to burn out infection in a horse's leg.
Yours is different but could be some on the order?
