Brake line flaring tool
Correction, pipe flaring tool.

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.
Sure, it a tubing flange tool
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.
