    Post your mystery tool.

    Here's mine.

    This thing is beautifully hand made and to me is an industrial sculpture. Unfortunately I have no idea what purpose it serves other than pressing something, therefore cannot confirm whether your guess is correct or not. It is vintage, both ends of the crank handle have an internal thread which I assume allows for the attachment of a knob(?), it came from Canada (if that helps), is VERY heavy and solid, and has no makers marks on it anywhere. Note the tin container in the picture for scale.

    What is it?

    I have three of them in various sizes. Yours is rare in that it has a hammer head ram not seen much these days. Nearly all have just the square end of the ram as the pusher.

    For your next trick, give us a difficult one.
