Do you recognize this tool?

Hi, I recently purchased a lot on ebay that contained an assortment of watch repair tools. I was specifically after a cannon pinion remover and mainspring winder but the following was included. Does anyone recognize this as a watch repair tool?

Regards,

Darren

It's a combination tool, used to clamp around roller-table to heat up and flow shellac around the roller jewel. The roller-table clamps on the short side while the long end (wing) is heated over a flame. Cheers.

Nothing more to add, except this link for a copy of the apparently original instructions.

That's slick. I hadn't thought of using it as an annealing tool. Thanks for posting the instructions. Cheers.
