It’s a highly-leverageable wire cutter.

I still use one. It’s a nail puller. I also have a older version from my grandfathers tool box.

I’m with Steve. Yes it is a nail puller for fine furniture. You put the jaws on each side of the nail and drive it into the wood with the slide hammer. (You may have to fille the hole afterwards.)

Steve is hilarious. It is definitely an instrument of Swiss origin.

Yep. It’s a nail puller… for nails that are really driven in deep.

The other guessers are totally wrong about this. Any old timer who repairs watches would recognize this as a mainspring extraction tool for small women’s watches. Note how it has been carefully cared for all these years.
