I can't really tell which, if any, parts move, but the first thing that comes to mind is a can crusher or something of similar purpose.

A close picture of the tag will help. I'm guessing its for canning.

That is an example of the wrong way to take and upload pictures in order to get something identified. 
Just kidding/but only partially. We need much higher quality (larger) photos to be able to make out details.
Since it looks lashed to a tree, could it be something related to holding a bottle up against a tree while tapping it for fluid/syrup or something similar?

Could also be a wine bottle corker. I was thinking originally a milk bottle capper (from the size/shape of the capper head), but the base would have to be square to match most milk bottles...

Lassen Forge got it; it's an old wine corker. I've seen a few of them over the years, on display in wineries.

Am I the only one wondering why it's tied to a tree over a piece of concrete?

Clearly it was being held for ransom.Duh!
I've used dozens of antique bottle cappers, I have never seen one even remotely like that. I really do not believe it is for capping crown cap bottles, there isn't even a place for the cap, and no die.
that is a French champagne corker with provisions for the safety wire.

It was someone from this thread..lolBefore he deleted the original ad it was free.
Today it’s back up...
Somebody’s trying to cash in.

No LOL I bet you're right - the timing is just too close from a "I don't know what it is" to "wine bottle corker"... Smells a little like a demolition man burger.
So... Since I ID'd it for the person, does this mean I can get a cut of the sale?

Maybe that can be a new thread category. Successfully ID "this" and get 10% of what it sells for. Scale goes up the longer it takes. 50% if its for that yellow bracket that I don't think ever got properly ID'd a while back.

The lone GJ ID failure..lol
Well it aint me.
I saw it on the FB
I was listed as free
He also was inquiring as to what it was.
Thats why I posted it here.
Soon the ad was deleted.
Then it reappeared with the pricetag.
Here he is.
Look him up ....
