Does it make a noise when the crank is turned?

Are there any names, patent dates or numbers, logos, or any kind of marks to get us started. Where did it come from? Sometimes the origin is a help...sometimes not.

That was my thought.  Could cut taffy strips into bites.  I'd eat some if you cleaned it up.

It sure looks like that taffy cutter - thanks chips!
I'll have to get a photo from my friend of the other side to confirm.
