It looks very much like part of a Mincer for food. My mother had one
that looked almost identical to this.

Same here. Yes its part of a food mincer, used for making mince meat from
cooked meat.


The only reason that I don't agree is that I've looked at over a
hundred photos of them after doing an image search, and they all have
the handle on one side and an opening on the other side for the food
to exit, unlike the one in my photo. I'd be happy if you could prove
me wrong and find one like this, but I'd be surprised if it ends up
being a mincer. Michael, does your mother still have hers? Maybe you
could take another look and see how close the resemblence is.
