What could this be?
I bought this lot of unused tubes from some guy in Manila and included in the package was a pair of these tong-like things. What could they be for? FWIW, the clips grip the 6L6GCs I bought from him quite snugly.

OMG! Those are the mystery tongs of Manila, used by the Knights Templar for making you wonder what they are!
Sorry. Been watching too much TV.
Not tube related, I'm sure.

They clamp around the base of octal tubes to assist in removal?

Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!

It really looks like it's from a work lamp but it's missing the spring clamp from the pivot end with the bolt!

I'm gonna go with a nostril torture device. Something your mother might use instead of getting her fingers buggerfied when she's dragging you by the nostrils.

Can't really tell if it is big enough, but my guess would be some kind of guitar (or other instrument) wall hanger. Maybe it got separated from the rest of the assembly?
