Break pills or tablets in half?

Well since a day has passed and we’re still in guess mode, I’ll posit that it is something from ranching/animal husbandry/veterinary care, and not a mechanics tool.
Looking forward to being wrong.

I don't think it is going to cut anything completely in half. See how the blade is deeply curved? And see how it would hit the the elliptical pan? I think for some reason it would deeply score whatever the pan held. I mean, there are certainly better ways to cut something in half, if thats what was needed. If it had been made to cut something in half, the blade would have been made convex instead of concave, and would have fit neatly into the inner curve of the pan.

Bergmann electric conduit pipeline​

Model Description
Pipe for electrical installation that is no longer used , into which individual insulated wires have been drawn. It was named after its manufacturer, Bergmann Elektrizitätswerke AG in Berlin, founded by Sigmund Bergmann . To learn more read: Originally the pipe consisted of a waterproof ( bitumen-soaked ) paper mass without a protective jacket. From around 1900 it was given a folded jacket made of sheet brass , leaded sheet steel or sheet steel with an aluminum coating to better protect the paper pulp . Bergmann pipes were manufactured in 3 m long rods with an inner diameter of 9, 11, 13½, 16, 21, 23, 29, 36 and 48 mm. With split sleeves, the pipes could be connected to each other after the lines had been pulled in. Wide bends could be produced with pipe bending pliers, these pliers were used to press notches lying close together in the inside of the desired bend, so that the pipe was shortened here and a bend was created.

Read my quote, it’s meant for a specific type of pipe. Might not work too well with conduit.

Missed that before I replied earlier. Good information and it makes a lot more sense about the notching. Perhaps it will be the right tool for the wrong job someday.

Looks like a tool for castrating roosters.
Sorry - just got some butchering done. Cool tool, never seen one.

 

[Roberts210]

Save it. Like you say, it might come in handy some day.
