Went to the swap meet today.
Found this interesting item on a tool table.
I think its a cookstove lid lifter
Handle for a file, missing the clamp part.
I don't know what it is for sure, but I do think it is missing some parts.
It doesn't look like any stove lid lifter I ever saw.

I think it's a file handle, too. I recalling something similar in an old chainsaw sharpening kitOriginally Posted by Oaks&Pines
I'm sure it's missing something.
Probably a clamp or something.
It just looked so interesting and old.
It is a file handle missing the clamp.
Do a quickie search for 'antique file handle', go to 'images', and several pictures of them pop right up.

Now all I have to do is find a clamp for it.
Maybe make one.
Great, another project on the long, long, long list.
From looking at the pictures of them, the clamp doesn't look like much more than a ring with a threaded hole for a set screw.

I was thinking of bending a flat stock with three sides, and weld a nut covering the forth side.

Could it be a handle for another tool ?
We go through life trying to make the best decisions we can based on the best infomation we can find, that turns out to be wrong.
My hen's nest is missing its handle . . . . at least now I know where it ended up . . . . dog-gone racoons!
GONRA thinks maybe a small hose clamp is needed here? ??
file handle with the file and half the clamp missing.

Rich or poor, it's good to have money.
I second this, woodstove lid handle, on second thought it doesn't have the S shape, so yeah, I looked it up, file holder.

"People in Arizona carry guns," said Detective David Ramer, a Chandler police spokesman. You better be careful about who you are picking on...
It is a file handle missing the clamp, not a guess as I have one.
File handle, NOT a ring lifter for a wood cookstove (or any cookstove). It is missing the 'clamp' part but one could be 'fashioned' as described. These are still available new, if you care to search.

Second om Beemer's observation; Gonra has it right, too. A heater hose clamp should be small enough to do the job.
