Would anyone know what I might use this for

I recently bought a selection of waffle irons from a local auction and the following item was included. It is quite large, I have included a 12 inch ruler in the photograph for scale,has a small grid on the inside of the plates and has a gap of just below 1/4 inch between the plates when closed.

I would really like to know what it is and what it would be used for.

Thanks for any information you may have

Looks like a rudimentary form of a wafer iron. The handles, however, are heavier and not shaped as one would expect for arm's length use over a hearth. Perhaps it's a tool of some other kind.
