Any guesses as to what this is?  There are no wrong answers because I have no idea.  Actually I have some idea, it is a kind of press.  It was sold as a citrus press.  A citrus press it clearly is not.  There is no place for juice to drain.  Height is 15 inches in the lowered position.  It is heavy.  It works as a nut smasher if you are fond of shell fragments.

 

The asking price was $158.  The device has since been removed from Amazon.  The fact remains someone designed it for something.

 

I received my Lee Valley catalogue in the mail yesterday and while leafing through it came upon this.
