Hope Ya'll know what it is?!?!? 1899 Widmaver Mayer?!?!? know there are other letters just hard to make them out....Tried cleaning a lil bit (which I hate to do) to get better visual...Yerp it's all wood except for the metal piece between the handles.....there is resistance but not a ton.....
Is it old fuse puller, nippers, yank a tooth, heck nut cracker, no idear but very curious to find out.....
Did couple hours of researching could not find anything similar......Driving me nutz........

Hard to tell from the pix and I can't make out the the name but it has the general form of a type of test tube clamp - used to move them when holding by hand is not desired - as in when they are hot or cold. Modern ones are usually much different.
Couldn't find anything quite like it but then I only spent a few minutes searching. The pic is a wooden one but has much the same form.

That is so cool. And made of wood!
Wood is a good insulator. But it doesn't look to have spent much time near a flame.

Maybe for pulling those big old cartridge style fuses?

The OPs may be metal - the one I posted is wood but it is listed as a test tube clamp.

Being made of wood, could it be a design model for a tool?

But not only for when heated. It's often not a good idea to hold a test tube by hand.
