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.
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
