What is this item?

Valve spring compresser. I'd bet 10$ of your money on it.

My guess is it is a chain tensioner like you see on transports, feed the chain through the hole and insert the hook into a link and pull the handle down.

That was my guess, rather primitive

Peavey.

That was my thought as well. I don't think it's properly a Peavey because it doesn't have a spike in the end, but it's some sort of cant hook. A tool for gripping and rolling logs.

Peavey's seem to Come in many different configurations and have many different work definitions. That one may be a European type for a specialized job???

I'm positive it's not a peavey or a chain tensioner.

Looks like a tire mounting/dismounting tool - note the tapered end to the left

That was my thought.
Would be nice to have something beside it to but it to scale.
