I found this at Urban Ore today. Someone had converted it into a very ugly lamp, which i removed. nothing was permanent, so the piece is perfect. i assume that it was for holding rubber stamps. The logo on top says 'Achilles'.
Yes, that is exactly what it is - a carousel rubber stamp holder. The vintage ones normally have a cast iron base to keep them balanced. Here is one with 3 tiers.

thank you Efes! it will make an interesting christmas decoration for a minimalist / office oriented xmas!
Welcome! Mystery solved. :-)
Yep. Achilles Rubber Stamps. Looks like someone added several together to make the lamp.
