What is it? Game 83

Today’s collaboration with the What is it? blog brings us this strange contraption (no – it’s not a gun). Can you guess what it is?
Place your guess in the comment section – no prize this week, so you’re playing for fame and glory only. For more clues and guessing fun, check out the What is it? blog. Good luck!
Update 11/28/08 – The answer is: “The American Bull Dog Boot Jack”, used for removing boots, patent number 329,576.
That was too easy (the answer was in the photo itself)!
