it does resemble some sort of bread slicer, but the top "teeth" has a bar/rod going thru it- also that top "roller" looks like the ends "roll" on the side rails....so my guess would be, a meat tenderizer- the top roller/teeth adjusts for height...then there is some sort of manual hand-crank that "rolls" the teeth on the meat and tenderizes it

whatever it is, I think maybe that top part is the "crank". You just move it forward and backwards. if it's a tenderizer, it probably didn't work very well and that's why we don't see them anywhere
