    Hi all.

    Looks like a brick guillotine to me. We zinc plate something similar at the place I work.

    The OP did not necessarily say he did buy it .He said he picked it up, which could mean he got it it for free, or came in a package deal with something else he did want.

    I would not dump it but would sell or swap it for something useful or make something else out of it. I googled it and there are brand new ones still for sale.

    Thank's Graham... It was actually put it out as garbage !!..I always have an eye for things that are a bit unusual or old... if I cannot make use of them or resell the item, it goes in as scrap.

    Hi Kenny, Guys,

    I would agree that it is a brick guillotine ! Useful if you need to cut a brick to length to fit.
    Beats bashing a brick with a bolster and 2Lb hammer.
