Hi fellows, someone here must know what this is! I am of course assuming it is a reloading implement of some kind. It has the same exact finish as my Redding powder measure. Im sure its probably no good anymore. The crank still turns but I found it in a burned out house I bought this spring so its rusty all around. I found some charred cardboard boxes Redding stuff in the vicinity but I dont know what it could be. Thanks!

OOOhhhhh! I love this game!!! I've seen alot of old reloading stuff over the years, but nothing like that! I have no idea.

Easy. A loob groove collator. A few pieces missing though.
I figured it was missing some stuff. Theres a key that comes out of the bottom of the dish that must attach to the doofalator..... I googled a Lube groove collater er whatever and I didnt get much haha what does it do?

Looks like some type of tensioning device for a V-belt ??????
I'm going to agree with WV109 I think it was/is a tensioner for a belt driven tool. I think the fact that the powder coating is the same color as your Redding is more coincidence than by design.

Hmm. Dunno.
Appears to have some gearing. Perhaps if it still had a stone wheel attached it would be a wall mounted grinder for sharpening knives and such?
It is not a reloading tool. It is a bench mount tool, note the vertical piece on the far right has a mounting hole. There is a crank handle attached to the "gearbox", I suspect it is some type of hand operated rotational tool. It is geared to increase the speed of the output device.

a few more pics from different angles would be helpful
I'd suspect a stone was fitted of the round disk with flange.
i agree looks like the one i haveOriginally Posted by W.R.Buchanan
could be a crank for a forge .....belt driven to the blower ( and the fan more than likely had real babbit cast in place bearings lolz ) mounted either underneath the pan or on a leg , but that's just a guess as well , more fotos/views would help

Hand crank smoke grinder?

I've got the itch, but don't got the scratch.
Are you gonna let him off the hook? The poor guy spent time trying to look it up!

I think it's a gunsmithing buffer/metal buffer...basicaly an early version of a bench grinder
Nope, it is a loop groove processor.
When complete, it removes the seeds from loop grooves so they can be used on boolits!
Keep em coming!

I like your quote. I like even more another from "The Shootist". " I won't be wronged, I won't be insulted & I won't be laid a hand on." " I don't do these things to others & I require the same from them."

Well, I'll be darned........I haven't seen one of those things in years...can't remember the last time I even used one! They were pretty primitive technology but did the job back when I was a kid on the farm. We have far better tools these days that perform the same function almost twice as fast as that thing ever did, thank God.
Boy, does it bring back memories...........
