Not sure of what the heck this thing is! Spring loaded to open with pressure to sides, any info would be appreciated, does it have any collectible value? Thanks!

Hi Jim,
It might be a spring loaded Pan/Ice fishing hook. I would bring it to a Bait & Tackle shop in your city and see what they say about it. Good luck.
