Tool and logo I.D. help....

[bullrocky]

found this yesterday at a yard sale, it is about 7-1/2" long, has "pats. pend." stamped on it, and a logo that has 2 E's back to back. on the "pincer" end, one side has been hammered over to form a lip. my best guess for it's use is to hold a nut in a small area so you can start your bolt, but not sure. also can't find any logo's that are similar. any help on age, use, or who made it would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

Interesting find. Couldn't find much except for an example on eBay with obviously no more information that what is here.

Pardon Our Interruption...

Not likely, but I wonder if it could be a test tube holder.

Whom might be the maker of these? I thought perhaps Goodwrench or Gedore but the Google Lens search yielded nada...heavy steel and seem well designed and made, 3/8" drive
