Is this a Big Ol' Pipe wrench or ???....

[SkyPuncher]

Picked this up at an auction for $2 and was wondering if it is some kind of pipe wrench? It is about 40" long and darn heavy! Have not located any maker marks on it yet.

It looks like a big pair of forging tongs to me, for some special purpose.

Lots of them posted here. Not quite as question worthy as a sawset.

Thanks everyone! It will get a coat of oil. I like to keep odd, large tools laying about for conversation pieces.
