    This item was found in a car boot sale. It has 3 bolts and wing nuts that identify it as a press of sorts, with three leaves allowing for 4 items to be pressed at a go. Does anyone have idea what this is?

      What you have I believe is a vintage tennis racket press.
      These links show more high end versions with brass & leather fixtures;

      Thanks for your vote of confidence on this one Micheal, we'll have to wait for Lovejoy to wake up (should be 5 AM in the UK) to comment & see if he is in agreement.
