We found this month's mystery item at the October Nashville Flea Market for $20. We were intrigued because we'd never seen anything like it. Originally, there would have been handles on each side. Unlike many of the items we've featured in the past, this tool is used in a wide variety of industries. We had an advantage in identifying it because of numerous markings. Of course, we've blurred those markings to keep it interesting. This picture shows the tool in the closed position. For a closer look, click here.

Congratulations to Steve J. of Mt. Sterling, IL, for correctly identifying this month's mystery item!
