Default Tool ID "Lee Splicer"

Posted on the Garage Journal as well. Maybe a fiber optic cable splicer?

I unscrewed the little fixture on the end for some pics to reveal the detail.

Mystery solved. Aircraft cable splicer from the 40s.

It might; but someone smarter than me (that pool seems to keep growing) would have to do it. I found out WHAT it does; just haven't figured out HOW it does it.

My guess would have been a fixture for adding thimbles to wire cable. I learned how to do that while in A&P school a long time ago. That would preload the cable around the thimble so you could install it tight. Lots of fun to use, think of shanking hands with a porcupine over and over again. Being chrome that was probably commercial grade and pretty pricey in the day.
