I'm a sucker for a gizmo, and the more gizmosity the better.
I know what this is- do you?

A device for cutting the kernels off sweet corn?   Is the base cast aluminum?   Wild guesses, as usual.

Looks like a pull down shade trimmer to me.

Too easy, huh? Star Window Shade Trimmer Model B.

Yes, John, the base and frame and gears are aluminum.
