Antique Cast Iron Noodle or Tobacco Cutter

 Antique Early German Cast Iron Tobacco Shredder/Cutter.  I have heard of these used for a Noodle Cutter . I am not sure which is correct but they are a neat looking primitive. This is a really nice primitive piece.  It is very ornate and would make a great décor, or can be used.  On the inside it reads Ges. Geschutz.  Everything is in working order and it is really clean. It measures roughly 8″ Tall X 13″ Long with the flap closed X 4″ Wide.  The wheel measures 6 1/2″ in diameter.  It weighs about 10 pounds.
