It appears that major portions of the device are missing; the entire cowl
and exit part... to me it looks like some sort of grain mill, perhaps a home
verion of a mill that slices steel cut oats, or separates the hull from
grain, or cracks corn, maybe removes shells from sunflower seeds.... but I
seriously doubt it has anything whatsoever to do with pasta.
