Looks like a cheese cutter, for long thin
cylinders of cheese. But who makes those?

Is it really a dough cutter?

Whatever it cuts must be soft, like cheese
or dough.

Dough sounds reasonable. Presumably you'd roll the dough out flat, coat
it with something and then roll it up into a log. Placing that log in
the device would let you turn it into a bunch of consistent slices to
bake, producing some sort of spiral pastry.

Sveedish kookies... make long rolls of kookie dough and refrigerate,
then slice and bake. Could be for schlicing oybed bootter into round
pats too.

It is huge and heavy and from a bakery...might be for slicing cookie
dough.

Obviously those TWO handles on each side mean something. What?

they mean you can pick it up without risk of it flopping open.

A dough or cookie cutter would make it terrible ordeal to clean.

It looks like it's sitting on a bathroom counter (??). How about an antique
miniature soap slicer? Soap mold not shown?? Would only need a quick rinse
to clean.

Actually I see there are 6 handles showing, and perhaps? two not showing.

Four carry handles located at the ends in pairs. Note the pairs are
angled to come together when the device is closed so each pair can be
grabbed with a single hand, holding the device closed. Two handles
located top front for operation of the device with both hands to apply
maximum force.

It looks like the bread slicer at my local bakery, except this model would
only be good for slicing baguettes!

I don't think you can slice baguettes with wire.
Not after they're baked, anyway.

I have absolutely no idea, but it looks like it would be a pasta
cutter to me.

I am guessing cookies, particularly the wonderful Swedish gingersnaps which
always are so perfect and regular.

I dunno...it looks very substantial. The beefy frame and those big
handles look like they're made to withstand quite a bit of stress.
Might it be for veggies like carrots and celery?

It looks like a noodle cutter to me. The cutter part's divisions seem
too close together to be for a rolled pastry, unless someone is making
something like twists.

The part holding the "dough" (or whatever) is trough-like, leading one
to believe that a rolled round of material goes in there. I have a lot
of refrigerator cookie recipes that call for making up the dough this
way before slicing. And there is no place to "feed" dough into it...it
simply takes a "round."

Were the slicing parts stronger, I'd say it was for slicing cocktail
breads.

Something else interesting....the idea that the words "Made in Sweden"
are in English. This would imply that it is not for something out of
the ordinary in the US -i.e., not necessarily ethnic in nature.

The "Made in Sweden" makes think otherwise.
