Veterinary tool. It's for holding a mouse still while you give it an enema.

High school metal work Project nut cracker.

 

[Stuart in MN]

Not a high school project, they were available commercially. We had one in the kitchen when I was a kid. Works great for walnuts.

Some people certainly do have a very weird and vivid imagination.

 

[Copymutt]

Looks potentially like a vulcanizing clamp for inner tube repair.

All the ones I have are fresh, where do they sell antique nuts?

 

[MushCreek]

Mine are probably considered antiques...

This is funny, as my wife and I were at a garage sale this past year, and there was a pile of smallish rocks with a sign that said "old rocks for sale." Wonder where the new rocks are?

 

[1jeepfan]

LMAO! I’ll be chuckling about this one all day.

 

[ddawg16]

I thought it was a pecker holder for those getting circumcised….

Recent lava field.

 

[Iliketostrip]

is it for sale?

 

[lakelandcat]

Did your Dad do any Fly fishing? Looks like the bottom half of a vintage fly fishing vise. A small rod goes in the hole and the other end has a clip so you can tie your own flys.

 

[68 sat]

Wow. Yes, he was a fly fisherman.

I know what it is. Do you? I did not know how to remove the description. Oh Well, enjoy.
This tool came from our gas and service station in rural Alberta. The station shut on 1967. It had been open for fifty years.

Get real, if it was a pecker holder for getting circumcised it would have a chain with a big hammer attached to knock you out

The E-town swap meet has a no alcohol sales rule. Guys used to have a box of stones and a sign that read "buy a rock get a free beer".

That swap meet used to be good...

Too bad the household junk and NASCAR "collectibles" vendors ruined it. It's nothing more than a flea market now.

Well I'll be... I've been looking for a tiny cast iron adjustable skulling paddle!

Vulcanizer. You put a patch on the tube, clamp it in, and pour gasoline in the cup. Light, wait until the gas burns out, and Bob's your uncle.

 

[isb cornbinder]

I remember Uncle Bob. He set himself ablaze while trying to patch a tube. Uncle Bob had to have his Mister Happy amputated and now we call him Auntie Bob.

Works like a charm!!!

Taking a guess, but looks like an older version of a desk lamp clamp. Clamps onto the edge of a table or desk, and you put the end of the swivel light in the hole so it can rotate and be supported. Relatively flat so it doesn't protrude from the table very much.

Similar but newer of course

I do not think it’s a tube vulcanizer clamp. I don’t think their base was curved. Nut cracker.
