Does anyone know what this is? Seems to be home made, the threads on the thumbscrew are very fine, I would estimate 42 ish TPI. Initially thought it was a handle for a scraper blade, maybe? A few pence from the car boot, I thought it was worth that if only for the interest.

To me it looks like a shop-made item, the handle from a socket set machined with a slot to take the brass plate. The brass plate looks as though it might take a blade from a spokeshave, locating on the two dowels, with the knurled thumbscrew (which may actually be from a spokeshave) to clamp the blade in place. Maybe for use as some sort of scraper.

How about for holding a spokeshave blade for sharpening on an oilstone
