OK folks, what is this thing? Looks like something one would use to destroy something. Can anyone help me out here?

Handle from a pipe wrench

Looks like one half of a Stillson style pipe wrench that is missing the adjustable half.

Wait, pipe wrenches aren't hammers?
My dad would love to have that, he'd forge it into something else.

using it as a hammer is probably how it got into its current state. Although, I have used some pretty big pipe on the back side of a pipe wrench, probably big enough to break one.

My father's dentist used to keep a huge one in the corner of his office. When he would announce, "That tooth is going to have to come out", he would reach for the Stillson wrench and scare the crap out of his patient.
