I will let a few more chime in and then start giving hints to what I know... I did find a little information about it but the information I found isn't very clear.

I am not really sure what it is used for. It is stamped Sharp & Smith on one side and DevilBliss on the other. I am pretty sure that it is a surgical tool but some of Google results that I found showed it being for different purposes. One was for some type of throat clamp and the other was for use on the Skull. Not really sure of the vintage either. I found it among some tools in my shop that were left here when I moved in and always wondered what it was...

The top elongated knob doesn't look like it does anything, it looks like it is there to keep your hand from sliding forward. The flat knurled knob on the bottom is attached to the flat bar / spring that you see in the pictures. Maybe once you get it clamped down, you can adjust this to keep it clamped? Will have to try it out...

It looks rather crude and low tech. I can't see how that could be used in a sterile environment like surgery, unless it goes back to Civil War era. I'm going with a farm implement - used for clamping or bundling wiring.

Its fer pullin a fish-hook outta the mouth of a fish.
According to the interwebz, Sharp & Smith did make surgical tools from 1883 to 1899. Their name/logo looks like this: Also: In 1888, Dr. Allen DeVilbiss, an ear, nose & throat specialist, had developed an easier and more sanitary way to apply medicated oil into his patient's throats. This invention proved to be such a success that the physician was able to patent the atomizer and retire from his profession and established the DeVilbiss Manufacturing Company of Toledo, Ohio. Dr. Allen's son, Thomas, was active in product development and became a full partner in the company in 1905.

It is a DeVilbiss cranial rongeur. Think nibbler. Used when doing a craniotomy to remove a section of skull.

DeVilbiss use to market, but not manufacture, sheet metal and bodywork tools years ago. I have a Blue Point nibbler very similar, the knob on the handle adjusts the jaw opening distance.
