      Appears to be for stretching something rounded like maybe the arch of a shoe, but that's not my guess. Cast iron? Hummm.

      Looks more like a clamp to me. Would make a great mascot on a rat rod!

      What's a "rat rod" Rusty?

      You're kidding right? Google search rat rod images, sit back and enjoy!

      Wa a t'ing! Rusty, I have never heard that term & they just look like hot-rods to me. Maybe I have been off Uncle Sambo's Plantation too long! Yeah, all white people are beginning to look alike & I have noticed that my passporte pix is really beginning to look like me! OH,sh-t, Guess I need to get a new one as that one expired 22 yrs. ago!! Oh well, I don't bother with immigration lines anyway!
      Hey, maybe it's a cruise-control for a rat rod?

      They are rusty hot rods made to look like the early hot rods and I have no clue what that thing is but I like it.

      It looks like it would crimp or bend a pipe or something
