I'm thinking if it had a large, loosely attached pressure pad where the slot is, then, with a hook over a milk can handle. it could be used to press down a stubborn lid . Maybe remove a stuck lid, too.

I'm thinking it's for canning. On the old jars that have the wire to hold the lids on.

It appears there's not a lot of old mechanics here with all this guessing. I'll repeat my previous post. It is a valve spring compresser. I've used them very similar to that.

Can you explain how it works?
Why two hooks?
