Looks funky to use alone, perhaps a two man unit?

Looks like it should be mounted on a Pirate ship. Steering and torture in one spot. I have a tiny version of that by Lion

I did not know that there was an Emmerts Patternmakers Vise and Lion Trimmer Hunters Blog website.
From that link:
Quote: I can't begin to tell you how excited I am at the sight of this Oliver Universal N0. 3 Mitre Trimmer for sale! Oliver Machinery Early History shows that this trimmer is incredibly rare and was likely produced between the years of 1897-98 by American Machinery Co. Unlike all of the other miter trimmers on this blog to date the #3 uses a large "Ships Wheel" rather than a lever. This trimmer has been beautiful restored and I suggest you keep an eye on this one, because it will sell for a tremendous price! Auction ends Jan 12th 2007. The trimmer is in the Chestertown, MD area.
