This was found this under the floor boards in a 1800’s era house.

Do you know what it is?

My first impression of your photo was it was a torture device from the late 19th century. It has kind of a sinister look to it.
 
Many strange looking tools are often mistakely identified as weapons because they were often used as weapons ( at least in hollywood's slice and dice flicks)
Another example take a good look at an ergonomic ice axe used for ice climbing.
 
The title of this thread brings to mind a line from Carnage from the Marvel Universe...

"What's this? Another plaything to entertain me?" Unknown cartoon episode
 
I was at a flea market a while back and there was a guy who'd apparently bought up the leftovers of a bunch of garage sales and had all kinds of unusual things laid out on tables for sale. I picked up a strange-looking tool and asked him, "What is this?"

He took it, turned it over in his hand a couple of times and said, "It's a dollar."
