Apparently it moves through either air or water. Is it water?
No, wait... forget the above... The little stand looks more like a permanent display stand, not a way to store a tool that you drag through water for some reason. Therefore I guess it's a useful thing that's merely in the shape of a miniature torpedo, bomb, rocket or whatnot. I don't see any dials on torpedos, using Google images.
Given the little dials, maybe it's a desk gadget that tells the temperature & humidity?
But what about the tip? Looks like a protector cap on it.
My final answer: Is it a pen, and the little dials are just decoration? (But if a pen, what's with the little eye on the top? Maybe you stick the cap on the other end when you want to write?)

I don't know...couldn't think of anything else.
Is it the tool used to crimp the ring in a bull's nose???
Some kind of tool used on saddlemaking?

I'm really beginning to wonder about your background. Pigs and bulls??
That's not it.

Not for saddles either.
Summertimes on my uncle's dairy farm when I was a kid. I used to build fence and wrangle cattle, too!
Is it used for shaping metal?

No but it's used on a metal object.
Pulling the nails out of a horse's shoe?
