Machine Base WW No1

[antman213]

Picked this machine/table base up from a print shop in North NJ.
I would like to see what machine it is for or if it has a specific use.
It appears to be made of 3 pieces of Cast Iron, each embossed with "WW No.1" or "WW No.2"

The base or riser is hollow but doesn't have a drain, so I down think its upside down but it could be used as a basin.

Short of the challenges of moving, and the floor supporting it, that would make a cool base for a dining room table.

Or better yet, a lathe.

-Photo doesn't show the top very well. I would think it's oriented correctly in the photo, wider at the floor than the top means greater stability. Photo of the top might show how something is mounted, giving a clue as to purpose.

Looks pretty short, might work if you machine sitting down.

This is the top where a table or lathe pan would mount

-Top shows a contact patch but still can't positively identify the purpose so......repurpose it as you see fit.
