Looks like a very old valve spring compressor

I know I know!!! It's a thingamajig. Or maybe it's a watchamacallit. Mmmmmmmm ... On third thought, I think it's a widget. Oh well, these things are just too complicated for me. I think I'll get bizzy crocheting.

It has the appearance of a spring compressor, but its not.
The reason I say this is because when you squeeze these handles the jaws spread not compress.
It looks farmilure but I can't put my finger on it at this time,I'll see what I can do.

It would make a dandy OB-GYN tool!

Guess I was wrong:

VALVE SPRING LIFTER

Use this lifter to lift valve springs on deep-set L-heads. Lifter is designed for use on small US and imported L-head engines and provides a clear view of valve

Not for overhead valves.
Use on flathead engines where the valves are in block.

It's a turn of the century medical instrument used by proctologists in performing hemmerhoid surgery on patients without medical insurance. I believe they called it the 1 hour in 'n out economy special.
