Is this gizmo related to firearms?
some kind of screw press or somethin, valve, who knows
I don't know the exact size but I'd say somewhere between 15 and 30 cm
Is it used for tensioning or tightening?Not really, but when this thing is used there is definitely some tension in the air.
Would I want to use this before jumping out of a perfectly good plane?
I'd say you'd want to jump out of a perfectly good plane rather than using this.
But it is (was) used in some kind of an emergency. But not on a plane.

Does this thing emit any light or produce any electrical charge?
No it does not emit any light or electrical charge. The tension I was talking about was not meant in a electrophysical sense, but in a metaphorical sense.
But something will be kind of "emited" when this thing is used. But not from this thing but more by this thing.
This is all I could find under something medical
No, its not a Prosthetic Eye.
Here is another hint:
This night it is a special night
As fairies dance upon the roof.
All the fairies must alight,
For grandpa just has lost a ...!

WTG Suzy. I was beginning to fear I might be here long enough to actually figure this gizmo out.
OT@grandpa,
My mother had "something medical" like that, kinda creepy when you're a kid and find a similar collection in your house.
