Any idea what this is?....
 
Can anyone tell me what this is?... I took it out of a house I had (an old bodega) and sits in my courtyard at the moment..

Everyone asks me what it is, but ive got no idea, the wheel turns and it obviously was used for crushing something, it used to have the town 'Villena' on the back, but thats faded in the sun.

Looks as though someone could sit in it, legs to the left back to the right.

Therefore I guess it is an hemorrhoid remover :o

Could it be some old form of wine press?

Need to see its innards.
Could be anything from a corn grinder/flour mill to a turnip/vegetable chopper looking at the outside.

Could it be the forerunner of the Mercadona shopping trolley?

If it comes from a bodega, surely it´s meant to squeeze/grind/crush grapes. By the looks of it it´s not as old as you think, perhaps 20 years or so.

Found this, which looks like a similar system but even older:

Possibly looking at these similar machines.

So you're open to offers I take it?
I see the handle is missing from the big wheel,but I'll start the bidding at a fiver anyway.
