AHA!,
The Cosa Nortra used to shout "Open Sesame"
Sesame, the donkey, then turned the wheel to open the entrance to the secret cave.

It looks like a grain milling thing but I'm sure I'm wrong!

Jade said...

I guess you need a knife or two to use this one...?

Looks like a mill wheel in use as a restaurant accent piece.

A torture instrument used by the Mafia?

I think it is an olive press.

Hello Welshcakes: I think it's a weighing machine for grain, incorporating a mill to grind the grain into flour.

Sorry I've not been in touch, there's some good news on my site!
I hope your health is improving and Simi is still looking after you.

Good guess, pink but no. O&A, what an imagination you have! Thanks, Enza. You have a nice blog, too. Good guess, jams, but it's not that. Don't think so, Jade. Not a mill wheel, Flutterby but the other part of your guess is correct. Good one, WW! Ciao, Trubes. I will come over to have a look in a mo. I'm improving thanks and Simi is a fine doctor! Well done, marymary - you are clever. AN OLIVE PRESS IT IS!

Too late to hazzard a guess I'm afraid, luckily since I am hopeless at these things.

Hi, jmb. No, you're not!
