Probably a butter or cheese urn.

Naah, the blade in the middle goes up n down, I think it is a neep chopper upera

[joxville]

Unusual for me but I could be wrong....aren't old butter and cheese urns sort of 'barrel-like'?

It could be an early type of dough kneader.

As far as I'm aware of it. I say It's Hotpoints first prototype washing machine. :-)

It looks like the Prototype of the Kenwood Chef Food Mixer to me. :D

http://www.oldandinteresting.com/images/paddlechurn.jpg (http://www.oldandinteresting.com/photocredit.aspx#Dairy) A wooden box or earthenware crock had a paddle inside attached to a rod, which was turned by a handle on the top or side. These contraptions, which could also be metal, were widely sold as small, convenient household churns in 19th century America, like the wooden one in the photo (right), or this early 20th century glass one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Butter1web.jpg) in use in the US in the 1940s. This sort of churn was also used for domestic butter-making in New Zealand.
could be?

Small domestic churn. The winding handle cranks via the cog/s and the untoothed wheel turns using bare hand as and when required...

Ours was fixed to a box to give it height. We also had a similar gadget for hand cranking coffee beans... looked like a sort of gramaphone that Picasso would have built!

It's the prototype of the Tardis. Dr Who was going through some hard time.

We used to have a glass one, but it was a taller oval-shaped jar, and the gearbox bit at the top was encased in aluminium and red plastic - very 50s style. Paddles were wooden though. It was a horrible thing to work, as it really needed to be bolted down. You had to stabilize it with one hand while you worked the handle with the other.

if the arm does not lift out of the barrel thus making it easy to emply/wash out, then its an early washing machine. if it does hinge out then its a churn.
