Why that is a vintage patented doohickey of course!
No?
Hmmmm.
Well just a very dumb guess here, but it has a slot between bellish ends like a guitar tuning machine. I assume that retains an end of some sort of semi stiff wire like fence wire?
My late FIL inherited some ranch properties in Mexico. While we were dealing with clearing out his estate and doing the inventory in the barns the question often was. WTF is that thing?Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Please check out and subscribe to my Workshop Blog.-
That may be a good guess because there was a pair of fencing pliers and a farrier's hoof nipper in the same box. -
That is good information to have. Hmmmm. It DOES seem like it has something to do with wire fencing, like twisting out / tying up wire against a post sort of thing. I know there is a more polished item like that for tying up the ends / connections of wire for rebar, we sold the snot out of them when I worked in the home center in college...

My first reaction was that the channels were pivots or guides for rope or cable of some sort. Like a nonsliding pulley.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Looks like a tubing bender. It could very well be a round bar bender, as in 1/8,3/16, 1/4” rod. Real handy to build all manner of things with. Considering the distance between the 2 handles it was probably intended to bend box shaped rod for cages or baskets.Comment

What someone used it for doesn’t mean that is what it really is! I’ve seen an old Volkswagen Beetle jack inside a church organ. It was being used to tune some part of the instrument.👍 1Comment

It looks like a bob wire (the vernacular in the mid south) (BARB for others) tightener.Last edited by leehljp; 04-13-2022, 07:45 AM.Hank Lee
