What ever it was for was pentagon shaped. Such as a valve on a fire hydrant. It might have been used on a fire engine to remove caps over hose connections

Looks like a spanner wrench used to turn the main gas supply valve on or off on large manufacturing plants.

I don't know what this tool was invented for, but My well man uses a tool like that when they pull my submersible pump out of my 200 foot well. They clamp it under the coupler after a section is pulled up by there well truck. They let the tool rest on top of the well casing while using two pipe wrenches to remove the 20 foot section of pipe they just pulled up. The one they use has a T handle rather than the tapered bit.

The threaded rod only allows opening to close to 3" so anything it was used for had to be larger then 3"

I don't think it is a pipe cutter. The cutting wheel would likely be mounted in the end jaw and there doesn't seem to be any indication that there ever was. Plus there is no way to tighten it as you cut the pipe unless you use vice grips on the handle or maybe the t-handle is gone.

Bob,

I think Joe is right - it's a tool for cutting metal pipe. You probably did the same thing, but I googled J. E. Stanwood and found a hit that described a tool that he invented for cutting pipe. The description matches your tool. There was no picture with the description, but it sounded like yours with the exception that yours is missing the cutting wheel.

Not sure if that's it, but I think it is.
