Just as the title says what is it?

Looks like a rivet press.

I have seen this one many times over the years, but don't remember if it is for rivets, grommets, or both?

PS. If you would, please lay something like a ruler, etc. down next to this type of tool, so we can get an idea of the size of it. Thanks, and keep em coming!

I'm thinking it's a grommet set but a shot of the anvils would confirm what it's for.

I just sold one of these on E-Bay for 27.00. See below

Mostly used to rivit brake linings on shoes-  Before my time as a mechanic, but my Dad talked about the asbestos based lining coming in rolls to be cut, rivited to the steel shoes, and then sanded to fit the curve of the brake drums.  They also rivited clutch discs on- these were precut.

Thanks for all of the replies. Need to post up some pictures of a different one that I came across.
