Something like a C-clamp, to hold an object you're working on?
A tool used to insert a ring in a bull's nose.

WHAT IS IT?
A crimping tool
Looks like that screw on the handle adjusts it to what ever size of a "stud"? Like a button thing for Levi's or other clothing?
Something used to press jewelry wires? Like for earrings?
I think someone already guessed a nose-ring press, owee!
Something to set a diamond? Like in a ring?
Is it maybe for art?
The buttons that you press together rather that sew on? Like snaps are put together that way.
For shoe or boot hooks? A tool used by shoemakers.
Oh man, hope I'm wrong, but it's not a dental tool for fillings, or caps. I don't think they had those back then. But that's my guessI mean a tool to press them in place.
Could it be for making bullets?
A tool to bend leather or to fold it?
