This lovely "Tool" came out of the weeds last week. Not sure if it is a punching or embossing tool.But i like it  Attached some pics of it and some close ups of the fine details. It's a heavy weight,around 8 Kilo. Any thoughts are welcome. Regards, Gerd

Gerd, I agree with Mikee's observation, it looks to be the "male" part of an embossing die. More than likely there's a "female," second part to it, somewhere? I've never seen such a massive mounting cylinder on any printing dies so it may have been for a special type of stamping/embossing/punching machine? Whatever the case might be, it looks like you got the most important half of the die, as the female part would have been "wrong-reading." A most interesting and unique item, very nice sir!  Best! Bill
