It is not used for straightening anything, however, what it produces is straight.

As far as the Information I have is concerned, No

Note:

What it produces is straight

A specialist metal worker may have used it

The slots in it are of different sizes

OK, peoples, it looks like you're stumped.

My Info says that it is an antique hand wire drawing tool, possibly for jewelery.

I'll try for another pic later today.

Actually I'm sure that this tool had already been used in 1 of these threads before, but I didn't want to spoil it for yous and I've been far too busy to see what thread it was in. :-)

Cheers.
