I don't know either, but I'd sure like to see it in action.  Welcome to ToolTalk.

Welcome to Tool Talk!

Strange device!
Any markings, more pictures from different angles?

This looks sorta like a saw set, for  circular saw.   First lift the arm with the hammer, rock back the lever, then when the lever with wooden handle is pulled down it lifts and drops the arm with the hammer, spring pressure pulling it down with some force.   A saw blade could be mounted and rotated on the spindle to the right?    The wing nut on the front allows the rod to slide to the right, allowing any size of circular saw to go under the hammer.   This is a good one, ruggedly made for what purpose?

I agree with JohnK, by using the trip handle, the spring force keeps the set the same from tooth to tooth. The flipper on the end is probably ground to two different angles for different types of saws. Does the center post where you mount the blade move closer and further from the anvil when you loosen the clamps on the shiny rods? Like for larger blades.

I also agree.  Look up Belsaw or Foley-Belsaw,  They have a multitude of saw blade equipment.
