   It appears to be a dental grip for pulling teeth. Or it could be a form of old-tyme ice tongs, from a time when delivery men would bring huge blocks of ice door to door.

   Looks like ice tongs to me. My dad quit school in third grade to sell ice from a truck back in the Great Depression.

   Then again, I think someone used these on me when I was giving birth....some sort of primitive tool approved by my HMO.

   I'll bet they're ice tongs too.

   What is it? WHAT IS IT?
   It's Grade A Nightmare Fuel, that's what it is!
   I can't imagine something that looks like that is used for something pleasant. No idea, actually.

    A torture tool used in the early centuries to grip the male genitalias and stop the blood circulation. Eventually it will turn blue and will bring an unimaginable amount of pain.

    Those looped handles mean you're pulling something. The curved teeth means it wraps around something curved. The extra hardy construction suggests you're not lifting, but pulling in a direction where gravity can help you.

    Craig Clayton (#1) has the best guess. Yank those babies out.

    It's a snipper used in glasswork (i.e., scissors for molten glass)

    You dumb asses apparently can't read. The desription clearly states that it's not used with animals.

    It looks like surgical scissors for those hard-to-reach places. By the looks of it, it looks like it was from the early 1900's. Yeah, that's probably it...

    It's what is known as a "tongue loosener".
    It was accurately depicted in the 1993 documentary "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" as an instrument of tortue common in Arabic prisons. It is used to pinch the tongue and stretch it, therefore loosening it ready to be used for betrayal of secrets.

    Its a Riccon Wrench. In the early 40's oversized Blendal crunchers were used to chalup granite blocks for industrial mixes. Size was adjusted from scatia to rough froll and the Riccon nut needed to be adjusted to control size and mass displacement. The second world war disrupted the the granite chall industry when it was discovered that common beach sand could be substituted in all applications. The 42 ton blendal crunchers were soon melted down to make sherman tanks and the only surviving evidence that the industry ever existed is the odd Riccon Wrench, treasured by collectors and museums worldwide.
