It does appear to be melted. (A few fires have gone through the area)
Especially one side of where it looks like a wing nut was for ease of tightening the pivot. Main body is aluminum.

Razor holder?

Looks like a telegraph wire tensioner. will look for a picture and get back.

Now that you say wing nut it makes me think it may have been the part that holds a mophead on an industrial sized mop.Used to swing a mop working in a restaurant and it looks similar.It clamps down on something but I think the part that locks it shut is missing.

It's a ratcheting device. Can be used for putting in wire fences or tightening cattle fence.

My father is pretty good at identifying my finds. I told him my tresurenet buddy's will get it.

He doesn't want to k ow until he holds it in his hands.
He (my father) believes its some sort of wire tensioner also! Or... A miter saw pusher(finger safer)?
