What the heck is this?

It's just one of those things.

Just one of those Crazy .. things..

It was just one of those things
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things

It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Just one of those things
 
It's obviously an early roach exterminator. Insert the roach in the tri clevis, tighten it, and smack it with a 3 lb. hammer. The wheel allows adjustment for parallax. What do I win?
 
Don't shoot +P in it till we learn more.......
 
My bet: It's one of the hightech voting-paper-countingmachines from Florida.:D

From the pics, it looks like a model 23 no dash heavy duty. It has a beautiful even patina, and I'm sure you'll be hard pressed to find another one like it. Extremely rare in that condition!
 
It looks like it is quality built, and built to be used A LOT. What did you father do for a living, or hobbies that might help get us in the right direction.

He was a carpenter like me and his biggest hobby was working on old cars. There's no telling where he aquired this piece or if he even knew what it is.

It's a model 28 whatever it is and that's the only marking on it..
