Mystery tool.
Bench mounted, the handle moves up and down opening the 4 jaws from 1.5in, 37mm to 1in, 25mm. The back is solid so what fits in only goes to the end of the jaws. The jaws pivot on levers fixed at the back of the tool. Not sure if the scroll means anything or is just decoration, possibly a counter weight. There are no names or markings of any kind. Any ideas as to what it was used for?
