I need to add an update guys. I blew it, this could be a woodworking tool or not, I had a brain cramp when I posted it. So, the sky is the limit on this one. It could be a farming tool as well. Thanks for participating!

Judging from it's size and shape, plus it's obvious age I'd say it is not a mohel's izmel.
Other than that, I don't have a clue.I really do know what it is and when John finally reveals the answer, I'll reply, "Oh I knew that, all along." HEEHEE

Could be a chopper or crusher for sugar cane or corn stalks. Just not sure.

I've seen them on the old tobacco farms in northern Wisconsin used for trimming the tobacco. I've also seen them used for cutting up cabbage to make sauer-kraut. When used for making sauer-kraut it would be placed over a bucket or tub and the chopped up cabbage would fall into the bucket or tub. This is from a 45+ year old memory from when we would visit relatives up on the farm out by Black River Falls, Wisconsin. I'm sure it had other uses also.
My Aunt made great home-made sauer-kraut.

Mom used a "banjo" (that's what she called it) to shred cabbage. She set it on a large crock and shredded it into the crock.
Here's a picture.

So they seem to be multi use Larry, do you know what exactly they were marketed as?
