I know there might be a couple of you that have ever used one of these. I know it's not camping equipment but it is vintage! ;) :lol:

Nice try Steve but it's a bit small for that. :)
It'll fit in the palm of your hand. I guess if I give ya an idea of it's size it might help.
The threaded part is 3/8 and the whole thing is about 4 1/2" long and a little over an inch and a half wide. ;)

Is it a door hinge pin press?

Or maybe a brake lining rivet tool?

Go ahead and get your project started because it's just like having kids...if you wait to start until you're skilled enough or rich enough, you'll never do it. And just look at what you'd miss!

Hmmmm.

How about a chain riveting tool?

Like this one here.

It's gotta be some kind of riveting or staking tool....

Nope. There's a reason for the pointed set screw and the jamb nut. 8)

Somebody has had to have had a need for one of these. Whether or not they actually used one, well.....................
It's a very simple tool to do a very simple job. ;) :)

A Beam Clamp... But they're not usually that long. :thinking:
Might be a flaring tool for flaring pipe... Duh, how do the pipe fit in it? :lol:
Well OK then... It's a grommet setting tool. :thumbsup:
