[Solved] What is this... I dont even know how to describe it.

I found this in a box of random items. Seems to be made of caste iron, no markings, looks to have a clamp on one side so you can clamp it onto a table or workbench.
A crank that turns a copper cup to rotate what ever it is you place in this thing.
Then we have a lever on the other side that has a double tapered prong sticking toward the center to shape what ever it is you place in this thing.


Hopefully my pics will paint a clearer picture.

It's an antique shotgun shell reloading tool. It crimps the shells. Here's one on ebay for comparison: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-SHO...aultDomain_0&hash=item27c28a5adf#ht_500wt_969
