What is it??? A friend of mine sent me this pic knowing I have a thing for identifying old gadgets. So all I know is some one sent him this pic of the item from someones estate. I don't know what kind of work or business this person who's estate this came from did? There is also nothing to scale this thing to, so no idea how big or small it is, or if there is name on it? It does looks to me like some kind of anchor or flaring tool? I'll say it first Pig Castorator...:-) What say All???? Mac I did see a short video the person who has this thing made where they operate it open and close. Looks like whole tool is only about two inches long. The brass parts move back and forth on the two pins that are threw them. So that would mean you couldn't close it slide it inside something like a pipe then spread the body to flare the pipe or anchor the tool.. The little ring is just the right size to go between and hold the brass parts open.. I got no idea?? Mac

Muskrat I wish I could post the video I saw I can't even find it again now. When the brass parts slide in the pins are sticking out. So you could not slide that thing in a hole the diameter of the brass body. It could go in a pipe or tube just a bit bigger that the pin width? With maybe an o-ring or leather in the groove then be pulled back out to clear or clean the tube? Has to be something some one made for their one job/purpose??

Could it be some sort of puller for PEX or other tubing? With an o-ring on the slots in the brass parts, held open after insertion of the washer, it may have enough grip on the inside of tubing to pull it through a wall or whatever.
What do I win?
Moosetrot I was just gonna respond with a lifting or pulling device, when i read this. Same concept, rope / or hook thru hole to lift / pull with . Drop it in , lift / pull rope / washer slides down to lock brass into opened postition , lift / pull / transport item as needed. Set screws are to keep it centered and moving when when dropping down thru to bottom of item, think oval or slotted opening. Moose is probably on right track i'm thinking
