Brake tool?
 

[Husker44A]

Don't think so paglen. Its also about 12 long.

It's a member of the glommer family. Definitely not a beater.

Wheel stud wrench for an Essex Tridirectional.

Mind you that this is merely a guess. I could be wrong, maybe. It looks like a seventeenth century gynecological instrument, which doctors used to treat their woman"s healthcare needs.

I concur. Later edition, tho; in the glommer squeezer era.

That is a German made hemorrhoid removal tool. Dave2 carries one around in his man purse all the time.

Not really up, on the antiquities of hog restraint, a question begs ask. Which end of the hog does it hold, and how is it er inserted???

In my picture. The short hook of the holders goes inside of the mouth and hooks the V in the hogs jaw. While the longer hook goes under the jaw. You squeeze the handle. Just like pliers. Don't sound very pleasing but I'd bet you could lead anything around with these.
