What is this tool?

I was at an auction yesterday and bought a couple of work lights that were bundled with this old and strange tool. Anyone know what it is?

'05 Sierra 4x4 - Had 270,000 KM and running well when it was written-off by a stop sign runner.
'94 F-150 from the "F word" company. I'll admit it...good truck. Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm.
'79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.
'76 Sierra Grande (Orange) - hate isn't too strong a word. Kid who bought it turned it into a hot rod.
'68 C-10 R.I.P. - Dad's old truck...too far gone to resurrect.
'59 C-50 - with hoist. Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said.

Re: What is this tool?

I'm thinking along the lines of a jack or some kind of press. But a guy would need Popeye arms to put much torque on the handle, if so. How big is it?

But yeah, PawPaw will know, or will know who does know.

Re: What is this tool?

I have 2 of those. They are for the split rims on my 1919 Dodge Brothers car. Crank it down and the rim goes inside itself at the split seam and you can get the tyre and tube off and on.
