    I found this amongst some of my mother's silver. It appears to be silver and a device for gripping a cylindrical object securely with the pins. It has WH on one of the handles. The circular bit is about 1 inch wide when closed and 2 inches wide when open

      They appear sometimes, always in the mysteries to solve...

      Usually, I like to frighten people by saying it is an old circumcision tool ;-D

      This is an egg topper!

      Thanks Kyratango, I would not have thought of that! Sure it could have been used as a torturing device too!
