A fella posted this on another forum I frequent and nobody has come up with an answer. I found a similar image with Google Lens of the same basic geometry but with a handle that is wood and metal instead of solid metal.

The item pictured was found in Maine. It appears to be a lever/puller of some kind or possibly a way to align two objects with the two independent hammer head looking hooks.

Maybe a wall mover, or a tool to twist 2x4’s.

It does look like it is made to lift 2 somethings with the two hooks and it could well be something like wood where the hooks could be driven in. And the near horizontal piece off to the left would be the fulcrum point.

Here is a link to the one I found with Google Lens. It has several different views and some discussion but I am not sure any of the discussion is accurate. And now that I compare the two, I believe both have solid metal handles.

What is this tool?

It looks sort of like the handle and attachments for a very old Ford or other old vehicle's emergency brake, like was used in the twenties and thirties.

I think that's what the oral surgeon used to pull one of my molars a few weeks ago.

I have no idea what it is but it looks like it might be used to help tear a pallet apart.
