This appears to be a variation of a ice tong...but can’t explain the fork in the middle or the tiny eye at the top...any clues???
I think it’s a ice tong | ||

It kind if looks like an outside caliper with with two sets of calipers side by side. I don't see how it could grab ice. Can the tension be adjusted by the knob?
No knobs...
It is a dual caliper used by a craftsman like carpenter, turner, machinist, or blacksmith. No ice used at all.
Thanks Slackjack.
Mystery solved...thanks guys!
This is called a blacksmith's double caliper. If you google it I am sure you will find it. They aren't commonly found much anymore. You can find them for sale online for some big asking prices.
