Another Tool

[Kadee]

Can anyone tell me what this tool is and what it was used for?
I purchased it in a Opp shop sometime ago out of curiosity, I have seen a simular tool online ,but it wasn't quite the same and it did not say what it may have been used for, has anyone used one or know how old it may be ( looks old)

Looks like a garlic press to me.

To cook a hamburger patty in. ?

No would be way to small for a hamburger the round part is 6x5 Cm
I have been investigating more and think I have found what it is ,
It was used in a hotel ? Can you guess ?

The garlic press we use is designed to multiply the mechanical advantage of you hand squeezing the handles. Clearly what's shown is a press of some sort but I don't think it would work well with garlic cloves.
