What is this? Not for pruning your roses
Obviously a type of cutter, and with a fair amount of leverage too. These are sugar cutters in the 1800's sugar came in large cones and of course tended to be brown not like the highly refined white sugar we get today.
One lump or two? this is exactly what this does cuts sugar into rough lumps, which then was often kept under lock and key and placed inside sugar bowls inside tea caddies.
Sometimes sugar cutter come in a more mechanical form such as on a base or or with brass additions to make a little bit smarter.
