A remarkable implement David, my guess is that it is some kind of nut cracker! #11191328

Huh. I don't know either. Can't quite figure out what would happen when that crank is turned. Maybe John's right, and then the nuts would fall in that tray. Then again, I've never heard of an olive pitter. That's interesting. #11191492

Well, to me it looks like a clamp with a thing-a-majig attached. Or a jerry-rigged invention. I see lots of such things in our house. Engineers do stuff! #11191607
