The die hook or mold hook @Susquatch wanted to see . This has been in my box since 1978 and used almost daily . Not sure what material . Inconel ? Invar ? Some hard ash stainless tougher than a $2 steak . Great for moving , separating objects that won't part . A 4ft cheater bar on the small end will move mountains ! :)

Thank you for the photos. Not at all what I expected. Glad I asked.

I was expecting a big crane hook for lifting big dies.

Ya, a cheater pipe on that would lift Mount Everest!
