It's a tool that helps you tie knots, mostly for tying down cargo: you wrap the rope around the protrusions and through the holes, and by turning it, you can create various knots that would otherwise be hard to tension properly (it also allows you to handle cargo safely without having to learn how to make all kinds of tricky knots by hand).

Is it something that helps in the making of pie crusts?

It is a handle for picking up something heavy. The fingerholds are obvious. It fits into a slot in the heavy object and locks it for lifting. I'll bet the heavy object is a block of ice in a mold.

it's 6" long, so I'd say watch movement is out, but it could be part of the movement for a grandfather clock. the lever to the right rides along another gear, blah, blah, bah

I think it is something to measure up different calibers of penises and testicles. The tool also has a handle and a lever to help removing an enlargment device.

It is a splindelet. This was used in the steam age weaving industry to align contrasting warps. It was invented by Myron J. Kustonornivec after witnessing a particularly gruesome accident in a New Jersey mill. Subsequently several hundred children were put out of work and their families suffered.

At first I thought of Brass Knuckles, but no I believe it is a staple puller that is held in one hand.

It's an old rope climbing descender.
