Pasta cutter?

^ That is exactly what I was thinking but I didn't want to say anything. That makes sense.
I was really interested until it got bid up to $30 bucks for the package it was a part of - that kind of took it out of my area of interest.

<edit 11:05 PST> I just ran a Google search for "vintage pasta cutter" and I believe you nailed it. I don't know how to make my own pasta, so I guess it was no great loss I didn't win the auction.

Pasta cutter?

Tho I would suspect correctly a noodle cutter, from back in the day when we made and ate noodles at home. Pasta usually implies something newer and fancier.
