Does anyone know if this is a common project back in the day?
This is a 50BMG case. The squares on the graph paper are 1/4".

There were several like this in a box of reloading supplies that I bought... It looked like an old old box, probably been 30-40 years since something was done with it.

Dental dam pliars? It's the tool a dentist uses to fit the rubber thing around a single tooth before they start drilling on it.
Gives me the shivers just looking at it.

I've been carrying these things around for several years and do not know what they were intended for. Something specific? Or made to bend and twist for special jobs? Why the square male drive? The FxF was attached to one when I picked them up at a flea market.

It's definitely a dental forceps of some sort. The logo is SSW, for the S.S. White Dental Company.

IIRC those are for the hold down nut on the old fashion distributors.
Square male drive was for an extension.

Put that sleeve on the end. Then you can either use a 3/8 drive ratchet, or you can stick another one in the top, (at any 'clock position'), and use it as a handle.
