Farriers Tool ?
rustyric:
Found at local car boot sale this week, I think its a farriers tool of some sort.
Northwoods:
Looks like an early attempt at a vise grip wrench. :-)
geneg:
Looks like some sort of a spring compresser. Not for engine valves with the bulkiness, but something that would be repetitive once set up.
john k:
Yes, farriers could use this to put caulks onto horseshoes, before installing on the hoof. Great because of the repetitive capability. There is another vise, sometimes called a caulking vise that was much heavier, and foot operated.
wvtools:
I am with John K on this one. Is there a name on it? It might have been made by Champion Tool Co. (the predecessor to Champion DeArment, which then became Channellock).
