I emailed the seller and got a quick response:

It is a splicing head (710 or 890) support that is very versatile for many places that change per area to splice cables. It clamps to about anything.

If you click on the "REPLY" button on the CL ad you can contact him directly.

my neighbor was a retired telephone guy also.... I got some of his stuff after he passed, and I really love seeing the tools passed on!
