What is this tool?

Ace hardware still sells this nail puller unchanged from 50 years ago.
I was a teenager when Dad was building a house and I had to take the nails out of the cement form to reuse the material for the building joists. 2X12X16 He bought this tool and I still use it.

Thanks all.
I had never seen one like this before. A friend of mine gave it to me. He didn't know what it was either. Hammer and claw foot crowbar always worked for me before. I knew it was some kind of puller but can't see how it can grab a nail head that is sunk into a wood deck board. If the head was sticking up a little it would be no problem.
Thanks again.

Place the solid jaw on the edge of a nailhead, on the wood right on the edge of the nail.

Lift the sliding handle, slam it down a time or 2. Keep the jaw on the edge of the nail head.

The sliding hammer will put the jaw intot he wood a tad, and slipped under the nail head.

Close the jaws and pull the nail out using the little tab as the fulcrum.

This leaves a small dent in your wood. Much less damage than any other tool.

Keep your hand away from the sliding part of the handle, you _will_ get blood blisters or worse when using or carrying the tool and the handle slide closed. Happens to everyone until we learn....

Its identical...small world.I'm searching so if I find out, I'll brief you. LOL
