What is the Cast Iron Peice?

[adams95ta]

I bought this today because I thought it might be something unique/cool. 

Can anyone tell me what this is?

Thanks

I'm going to guess it's a butter churn that is missing two wooden paddles and would clamp to the side of a bucket. I don't know if that is right, I've never seen one like this, I'm taking a wild guess!

Looks like something from the Spanish Inquisition, clamp it onto a table stick an unfortunates head in it then turn the handle....ever so slowly....ouch!

what happens when you turn the handle ??

[adams95ta]

the inner side turns that is attached to the handle. the other side spins freely. There is a notch(cavity) on the inner side of the inner parts that looks like it could house a thin peice of wood or glass.

[mart]

you mean a bar that would go between the two parts that turn ??

If a mirror was placed in it ...... a Sunlight reflector maybe.

[mart]

have you looked at it closely to see if there is anything written on it ??

[bigwull]

i,ve decided its def,a head crusher...

My husband says it's a toilet paper holder.

would be a unique toilet paper holder !!

I told him I thought it looked like and old sideview mirror.

Probably had a mirror attached...so you could send a reflective Morse Code message!!!!

I looked over it in detail and there are no markings of any kind. I did notice that the inner side that doesn't have the handle attached it spring loaded to hold the wood or mirror in place and can easily be changed.
