   Hi everybody. Sorry for my broken english.
   It seems to be a ratchet jack (carpenter jack) / a clamp.
   There is a scale problem. What size is this tools ?
   It seems the basis (bottom) piece on the right of the picture is missing.
   Same principle as Hi-lift jack used by 4x4 in off-road conditions.
   Google it for examples of use.
   Cheers from Mayotte !

   Be careful not to hurt yourself with a jammed pin/a weak return spring...
   The load may collapse on you, or you can simply be blocked in an unstable situation in the middle of an heavy lift operation.
   I would not recommand using an old tool for heavy loads if there is any doubt in its proper behaviour and state of maintenance.

   That looks like a wire fence puller, not a jack. The hooked end has to be anchored securely to an object like a tree or tractor before the wire fencing is cranked tight. Then the wire fencing is fastened to posts or metal stakes.

   Thanks all for your comments. I believed ecyor solved the mystery. I had a better looked at the tool and it makes sense. Thanks again oh wise ones 😊

   for those of us who used to use on on a daily basis, it is a fence stretcher. The movable end hooks on the end post in the fence and the other grips the wire. When tight, the wire is wrapped around the post and tied off.
