Clearing out an old shed that I've literally not been in before even though I was born there and lived there for 40 years. Anyone know what this is? Ebay of scrap bin?
What's this?

It's a cake crusher. Cow cake used to come in slabs which had to be broken up before it could be fed.

OK much appreciated. Seems well made. I guess I may stick it back for another 50 plus years. Something for kids to find!

Yes as a kid I was always dead scared of the place. It was never used, never gone in, dark with no lighting in it and both floors were over run by rats. My Dad used to tell me when he was a boy tramps often used to stay in it. Guess that kinda put me offWere you told the boogey man lived in there or something?

Cotton cake is made from the seed of the cotton plant.
Another that came in slabs was ground nut cake.
Both were used as protein.

Hoik it out, dust it down and sell it to a prat who does this sort of stuff up by sticking a light on it and calling it "up cycled" and then sell for £1000's.

Certainly prettier /more architectural than this one https://pilgrim.ceredigion.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=1554 @JohnDeere8530
As Old Boar says have a look at it's value online and if you have any other old tools or cast iron machinery in the shed, check it out before you chuck it on the scrap heap as it is surprising the value of some items.
