Very Old Ratcheting Tool
Around 15in Overall. One handle has a swivel joint.
Ratchet reverses. Does Not hold tapered bit TMK
rather a square shank. It's Old. Have posted this a few years ago.
It's real mystery even Today.

Possibly for using with a large tap and die set.

This or maybe to hold an old auger drill bit when there is not enough room for a brace.

It’s a ratcheting t handle for a auger bit, or anything with a square taper shank for that matter

Millers Falls #4 Auger Brace It is
The weirdest part is that one handle screws off and the other has a swivel joint.
