Mystery Device

[Viking45]

Found this in my many boxes of junk and I sat and studied it a bit but couldn't figure it out.
As you can see the "bowl" part is angled and there is a little pocket and the end under the spring loaded shaft and the shaft has what looks like two small cutting blades.
It has a winged screw that lets you mount it to a table or counter top.
I have only one idea and that is you put a handful of grapes,cherries or olives and this thing removes the seed ore cores them
Don't really know about olives but I am assuming they have a seed in the center.
The frame has a half circle bar just above the bowl and looks like it only allows one at a time to fall in the pocket.

Any other theories?

THIS LOOKS ALMOST LIKE IT

Olive pit removal tool would be my guess. Problem is that to do it like the packers to, i.e. through the top on every olive, that would require manually orientating each olive. What a pain. Also, I don't see the pimento insertion unit for use on green olives

I think Tryker's got it,except theirs has a crank handle and mine has a plunger type thingy.
So I my guess was pretty good

Yeah, I just knew somebody was going to take that as a straight line opening.
