It's NOT used for crimping anything unless you get damn careless taking a wizz.

That's the stationary or vise end of a pair of tools used to wind a western union splice which was the be all and end all of splices before the automatic "pickles" came along.  There are at least 15 pics & posts on here of the other half of the tool, just search "western union splice'.
