Well I was going to just scrap it, but planning now weld it on to some piece yard art crap I play with. I'm thinking maybe Grampa used it for the big arbor nut held the blade on his mill?? Think my older brother probably has some parts that mill laying in his woods?? I was only 5-6 years old when seen that mill run.. So I have no idea how he used that wrench or for what.

Looks like a wheel weight tool.

Please don't weld on it and if you are going to scrap it I will pay the cost to ship it to me.
It is a pipe tong. patented about 1860 by a man named Brown.

Sit on your horse on top of a ridge, look out across the country and tell me there is no God.
