It was a 'kit' that included the punch and a mini tubing cutter.  $12.99.  I didn't see any LBCs in IKEA so I am sure it was not automotive related there although they did have a large green poster of a Fiat 500.

> The top piece, the one with two holes, seems to have two alternate sizes. One is marked 1⅛th 28.5mm. The other, which is about 2mm wider, has no markings. Both of these two are dished on the inside.
> The bottom piece has a flat for a spanner, is dished on the inside and is threaded so the cap screw can tighten it into the bigger section. So the two dished sections come together in opposition.
> I’m sure it was very useful once, but I haven’t a clue what for or when. It looks sort of like something one might find on a lathe, but I’ve never owned a lathe so….?
