Can anyone tell me why. This tool would be useful?

1/2 inch female on both ends

Appears to be homemade.

Farm or industrial machinery with square head fill/drain plugs maybe?

Might not be a tool, but a universal joint for square steering/drive shaft.

If it's drilled or has set screws Glenn wins, if it isn't then I agree with Mukluk.

l would talk to a plumber, cast iron plugs, often have a square head on them.

Run across a lot of old garage doors with square headed lag bolts holding the tracks to the wall.

Anyone up for some twisted female on female action?

more than likely a universal joint for a very low speed 1/2 square shaft

Welp it. Is going in the. Socket drawer, may find a use for. It someday..
No set screws, just what appears to be a hand peened rivet..

I'd put it with my 9mm combination wrench that I've used exactly once in 55 years.....

Apparently you've never owned an 80's/90's GM product, they seem to use every odd wrench in both metric and imperial. :o

Modern water cooled VW too. 16mm and 18mm are very common on suspension parts. 9mm fits clutch PP bolts and a few other parts.

My Jeep has SAE and metric fasteners, a mix circa 1990. Body is most all metric, drivetrain, suspension is most all SAE.

Double your pleasure, double your fun!

It also has AMC and Chrysler bits, a transition of maker thing back then. Then again it has also been modified with a Ford 9 inch rear end. I have to search at many suppliers for parts.

Buy a Ford. You'll need that wrench, a T15 driver, a #1 phillips, and a special trim tool just to get one door panel off. ](*,)

You know you are old when you can look at your wrenches and tell which one you haven’t used.
