That is a tool for turning logs in example in a sawmill.

believe its a type of kant hook for turning logs. not sure if i got the spelling right... the wooden handle must have broke or rotted off?

Looks alot like an old railroad track lifter,but missing the ring between the hooks to lift with.Probably home made out of a couple of different models.Look on Ebay under "Railroad track lifter" There are 2 of them,and one of them has a hook that looks just like the one with the rib.

I am not sure it is a cant hook , I have never seen one with 2 hooks like that.
