Online, things with jaws like this seem to be considered to be adjustable wrenches but when the other end is a nail puller, I'm not sure what they are. No name on it but it could date back to the 19th century.
Not a wrench, or a very specialized one. The forked end is for pulling big-headed eels from their lairs. The other end holds them still while you tattoo your initials on their flanks. This prevents ownership mixups and confounds eel rustlers.
