Does anyone know what this tool is for in these photos?

I don't know if it's an automotive tool (don't think so) but thought I
would try...

Thanks,
Josh

That is a flare tool. Used to form the flare on the ends of copper
tubing so it fits the fittings correctly. One very similar is used with
steel brake tubing to form the double flares used on brake and fuel lines.

It's half of a tube flaring tool. The other half is missing from your
picture. The missing part clamps to the pictured part so that you
can screw a cone shaped form into the hole,thus forming a flare.

The other part "is" laying there. Look at the other pic.

A single flare can be accomplished with the pictured anvil
and cone but I don't see the necessary dies for performing a
quality double flare required for high pressure applications.

Thanks everyone on the answer. It was part of a bundle of used tools I
purchased. As ''twisted'' noted, the flarer/yoke is there. I
originally thought it was a puller, now I know.
