Speculation here is that it's a piece of office equipment, though we
know not what. Might be worth looking through some old catalogues.

Thanks for suggestions so far! - it is like no sugar cutter I have ever
seen, and I think it would mash a cigar; the nutcracker idea is
appealing, but It would be very difficult to balance the nut. The
search goes on!

<<mystery.jpg>> Dear All,
We are looking for help identifying a mystery object - please see the
attached photo. Sorry about the poor quality, it is a scan of a photo
brought in by a member of the public. Seemingly this was on display in
a National Trust property somewhere in Sussex...
Any thoughts appreciated!
Cheers,
Jenny
