Approx. 10" long: Made of wood and metal

That looks like a bird call to me Dottie!

I remember these when I was a little kid. My Grandfather gave me one once. It squeaked when the knob was turned. It sounded very much like a bird. 

The only thing is, my bird call was only a few inches long. I don't think I've ever heard of one that was 10 inches!!

Maybe they use it to call BIG birds! Like eagles!!

         Dottie is that the way the thing looks,?  Or is that a cut away view...?

That is a true rendering of the item.  The cut away is part of the function and design.

              Ok then i guessed the stuffer...we shall see, ....i love these things...

Hmmm, it's a guess, but I'll go with Musket & Flintlock Ball Maker. There seems to be some sorta metallic grey residue on the inside, perhaps a result of the lead in the balls, if you'll excuse the expression!

I went with the majoritiy and votet for the olive stuffer.

[David In Indy]

Do you all really think it's an olive stuffer? I don't understand. How would it stuff the olive? If you put an olive in there, and then mash down on the handle it would squish the olive!

Wouldn't it? 

I still think it's a bird caller. It's a bird caller for really big birds, like eagles and hawks.

I voted for Peppercorn/rocksalt grinder. Total guess.
