Very heavy and screws or bolts down. Looks to have originally been black enamel with gold decoration. It has a wheel with a handle, which holds a plane type blade (not very sharp). the central column has a number 5 on it. the feed bed has an adjustable 'V' on it. Presume right hand turned the wheel with the blade in it and the left hand held whatever was being shaved up against the wheel face.
