Found this at the same place I found the stove piece underneath the car hood. Here are some pics.

on the bottom of the op piece it says "Reywood pat. April 18??" The rest is broken of. maybe it was used to grind up grain? :dontknow:

The only thing I thought of was maybe its a well pump? Like a hand pump that was put in kitchens in the late 1800's.

Could you take a close up photo of the wording? Use a darker background like blue, green or red and the auto focus camera will focus properly. Use macro lens setting and outside daylight is best.

Also please take a photo of top portion . You may want to put the flat part on a table edge. It appears to me that's how it stood

Looks like a kitchen tool I've seen but can't for the life of me think what it could be,maybe a hand crank meat grinder? I've also seen something similar in the basement attached flat to a table top when I was growing up,my dad worked on cars down there.Scratching my head over this one too.

looks like some type of table top mounted tool,, like a drill press ?
round base with multi holes to attach to table top , shaft with a bracket mounted on it that looks like it slides up and down to adjust and on the oposing side a flat square with holes that a deck could be bolted to .

just throwing a guess out there,, have not found a good match yet though in a picture :(

yes, this object was table mounted because when I found it, it had wood stuck to the square mount on the object.
