    Not sure what this would be used for. Tool of some sort. Extremely heavy. Might turn it into a table base.

      Possibly an old hand grout/cement/sludge pump....

      Looks to me like a water pressure pump for hydro static testing a boiler.
      How you use it is:
      You first plug all vents and openings to prevent any escape of water.
      You then fill the boiler to the top with water, then you use this pump to pump more water into the boiler until a pressure level is reached. If the pressure holds for 15 min. with no drop in pressure, and no leaks are found, the boiler is then "hydrostatic" tested and the boiler is safe to run with steam.
      The reason water is compressed, and not air is because air can compress and can explode if a leak is found. Water cannot compress. a pressure failure would only result in a water leak.

      In Hungary, similar pumps are used in wineries to pump wine from one barrel to another.
