When you turn the handle, a series of gears eventually turns the circular wheel. Very well built.

Old fashioned electric fence sharger. You connect the wires and sit there all day and crank the magneto.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

WAG but I'd say home made considering the spool is made of what looks like aluminum and newer than the rest of the gearing(steel) and the handle looks to be a replacement from the original.
Jury-rigged from other bits to make something handy.

Does the final driven wheel spin very rapidly, or very slowly as in a winch?
I remember as a kid about 1960 the neighboring farm had a hand driven six inch by one inch grinding wheel which was geared up like that. It had a fairly heavy flywheel, so you could spin it up and do a bit of light grinding work on the stored energy. Or you could have a second party there to steadily turn the crank.

In other words I dunno. "Sharger" - didn't know you were Swedish.

The beads on the spool are interesting.

I think the handle will foul with whatever was being fed onto to spool judging by the position of the hole in the box.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Said Say-ko exactly once.

looks like one of them old music boxes that played metal discs when you cranked it. Except the gearing is turned sideways. That fly wheel dont looks like it belongs to the original box, hears and crank like someone posted about.

It looks something like the old "medical" devices made to administer mild electric shocks sold towards the end of the 19th century.
Does it have two holes in the box for electrode wires?

Looks like some kind of a winch. Interesting old piece of equipment.

my granddad had a couple of those in his shop down in West Virginia....
One cranked clock wise and the other cranked counter clockwise...
The clock wise cranker, was a thing-a ma-jig...
The counter clock wide cranker was a Thing-a-ma-Bob
If the box was made out of metal, instead of wood, then that was called Do-Hicky
If the box was made out of light weight aluminum, that that was called a Whatcha-ma-Call-it...
They were used in making a Right Twix and a Left Twix...
the Do-Hicky and the Whatcha-ma-Call-it were used in putting them together in final assemlby in the packaging...
The Do-Hicky was used to put the Right Twix with the Left Twix..
the Whatcha-ma-Call-it was used to putting the Left Twix, with the Right Twix....
