Here is link to a tool at auction (6 pics). "The Excelsior", What is
it? I've done some research, but I'll let you start from scratch.

I agree that this looks like a type of printing press BUT Mexican Food Restaurants use a very similar machine, round plate, for turning balls
of dough into round tortillas.

It's definitely a "letterpress" printing press.

It's a type (hahaha) of printing press. Looks like a good price with one
day left on the action. Search for "Excelsior press" on ebay and the
prices start at about $300.
