Any ideas?

Any ideas what this could possibly be? Looks like some sort of forging tool

Pretty sure it's a can of Busch Light, an inexpensive alcoholic beverage.

The rusty thing looks more like a logging tool than a forging tool to me. I would think it's too light to deal with hot metal, but I'm just guessing.

Looks like a stake anvil.

yup anvil for sheet metal guys me thinks

Tapered spike for sheet metal forming. The tapered square end plugs into a bench plate or anvil.

Sheet metal stake used for setting pipe locks. As mentioned it fits in a stake plate on a bench. As a SM apprentice I was very familiar with similar stakes.

Thank you everyone for the feedback

The form apears to be a “ candle mold “ stake. There are dozens of different forms out there and they get pricey real quick.
