Does anyone know what this is used for?

It looks like a circle cutter and with the second blade it could also be
a round gasket cutter.

I have a modern version that is almost identical.

Washer cutter. The central spike is for guidace only, the two cutters
point downwards and slice a washer out of red fibre or lead sheet.
Pretty common plumber's tool.

There's often a thicker single cutter that goes with it. That's a tank
cutter for making holes in water tanks.

I ran it through PhotoShoppe to lighten it up/bring out some
detail and there are facets (tangs) at the top of the bit.
I suspect it's a circle cutting bit for a brace.
