Cast-Iron Sausage Press
This person discovered that a weird contraption outside of their apartment building. It was clearly made of cast iron, but what purpose it served was anyone’s guess. Without any clear identifying features to work off of, the OP had no choice but to ask online strangers what this thing was.
It didn’t take very much time for people to reveal this device’s true purpose. This is a cast-iron sausage press, though nobody knows why it would’ve been placed outdoors. You place ground-up meat into the cylindrical tub. As you crank the lever, the circular top pushes down on the meat, squeezing it through a hole on the side.
