     @Gargron I could imagine it being a part of a press. Old wine presses around here look similar.

     It is a mechanical press (probably for wine).

     @Gargron My guess is that it was part of a mechanism to open and close a valve.

     Love those giant mechanical pieces from the steam punk era.

     @Gargron It's from a olive or winepress. You are in Croatia, right?
