      Very interesting item Mysterious! Looks like you have the community stumped. How big is it? Is it iron or brass? If you put a piece of round stock in the top(or any other shape)would the knobs make it move?It looks like there is a number on one of the arms. Any other numbers or letters?

      I will find out asap.

      Hi! Sorry for taking so long to reply.

      I literally just found out what it is..

      It's a "EDWARD PRESTON" 'Patent saw set #1460 Bronzed'

      The punch is missing which goes through the top. The arms set the distances, the brass wheels run the blank through the cutter.

      Very cool! How did you solve the mystery?

      With your keen eye my friend. I made out more lettering on the actual item.
      Many thanks!
