My BIL just bought a house and previous resident left behind some kind of tool that has me puzzled and I thought it would be fun to have a thread about odd gadgets. So what is this? Lying is perfectly acceptable.

I actually had one of those in my home office as recently as a few years ago. Finally tossed it.

That was the greatest memory device ever known. You were forced to memorize phone numbers which kept the brain working.
I still have a couple of these.

Tie rod adjusting sleeve separator socket.
That’s what they’re mostly used for today; originally it was called a drag link socket. Not a lot of vehicles left with drag links.
That's the trainer model of a ninja throwing star.

Hydrometer?
Yes. A type of hydrometer a saccharometer used like a hydrometer the calibrated weights float in the liquid and the scale is on the bar.
Strip corn off the cob for brewing chicha. Speaking of odd things found in old homes a friend of mine found a taxidermy kiwi bird hiding in a kitchen drawer.

Here's something I picked up for a hobby of mine. Never used it, got a modern version instead.

We used those to make grilled cheese on the fireplace when I was a kid. Not sure if they're actually for something similar or not, but true story.

We had those too, indeed for making grilled cheese sandwiches over a fire. I remember them well, because we actually got good use out of them. While my parents were building our house out in the boonies, we'd be working on the property all the time and made a lot of meals over a fire. Then some more use when there were some big blizzards in the 70s, there were stretches when the fireplace was the only thing working. No idea what ever became of them, but I enjoyed seeing those and reminiscing, @Hoppy2bmerry!

I probably should have picked them up for a quarter then. I'm always ripping out grommets!

Yes, but bullet casting would be a more complete description.
