I'm pretty certain it's a book, but it's partially obscured by a grubby hand. HTH :wink:

 

[Chrispy]

Well it's American!

 

[Preston]

I thought it was just the fingers of a man

 

[carlb40]

Probably some form of caliper.

 

[KevM]

You're absolutely correct:
Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) written between 1868 and 1869 in Concord, Massachusetts and Boston. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Women

Another mystery solved, I feel my work here is done.

Hi

Could be a tool for holding the two ends of a cycle chain in place as the split link is inserted.

Kev,,any chance the hand might be of a confederate soldier holding a tool used to remove little women from horses hooves ??

 

[MickCheese]

Well I would never have guessed that one.

[rileytoolworks]

Wow. I would never have guessed that,and I used to work as a 'bicycle mechanic' in my youth.
Thank you.

Adam.

 

[Preston]

It's not related to these things is it?

Yes. They are chain link removers. I think the bottom one might be for motorbike chain.
