    Does anyone know what this is ? The handle will screw up and down. In the pictures it is about 6 in. long.

      I think it was a hammer designed for nailing in corners and tight spots, like roof trusses and toe-nailing where you didn't have much swinging room.

      it was used to pry into a leaf spring and then oil it. There is a resivor in the handle for oil if you look it also has a hole on the wedge for the oil to come out.

      takeadip is correct in that it lubricated leaf springs. It was originally used to lubricate squeaky horse drawn buggy springs.
      To use it, you unscrewed the threaded barrel and filled the handle with grease. After you reassembled the barrel you tapped the wedge end between the leafs of the buggy spring. You than turned the screw action of the handle(barrel) clockwise. By doing this, the grease would force its way through the tool and out of a little hole in the center of the wedge (not shown in the pics) thus lubricating the buggy spring and not more squeaks.
