    This clamp is approx. 6 inches wide and 4 inches tall when the jaws are open and 7 inches tall when the jaws are closed. Looks like a rubber handle and has a scissor action. I picked this up at an estate sale for an old veterinarian so maybe used to remove large animals teeth??? Interested to find out what it actually is.

      Great site for info.

      If a veterinarian owned it I would sooner think it is a farrier tool. One jaw is beveled and the other blunt.

      The jaws are both beveled. The photos make them look otherwise.

      No clue what it is -- but even if I was a farm animal (etc) I'd be scared as h*ll if somebody started to take something looking like that to *my* mouth...?? <lol>
