Dissie this one is a toughy - Gears like it turns or cranks something. I haven't even a guess yet
Wait a minute could it be a cupcake crimper. That's a really wild guess

There's dark stuff between the two pieces - could it be some kind of nut grater or grinder?

It is a pie crimper, pastry cutter, fluter.

So Bergy was correct with cupcake crimper.

I can't believe that my wild guess was right that straight right brain, out of the box thinking!

I'll hold back on this one I think I know what it is so won't say anything for now

Looks to me like some kind of press. Lift the handle and insert XXX. Press and get results. Garlic? Lemons?

Lemon press

My modern ones look like this:

They squeeze juice like nobody's business too. I have a yellow one and a slightly smaller green one sized for limes. Much easier on the hands than vintage juicers with a reamer built in.
