A similar item was sold at an auction site here. 
The item listed on that site is called a 'wild meat clamp' and is described as made to hold chicken legs or leg-of-lamb.
The French term Manche a Gigot (Thanks @LangLangC) will lead to many more examples in a search.

@LangLangC: Gigot refers to a leg of lamb, mutton, or venison as a separate cut of meat. Manche means "handle" in this context, and fer means "iron" (as in a soldering iron, clothes iron, tire iron, etc.) So manche à gigot = "leg-of-lamb handle" and fer à gigot = "leg-of-lamb iron". Amusingly, manche can also mean "sleeve", and gigot sleeves are also a thing.
