Thanks so much RockyAussie. It's a very interesting and complicated looking piece of machinery for a hole punch ;), but it will definitely be of use with the laced stirrups I make.

Good day from South Africa I recently acquired this piece of equipment and although I have trawled the net I can't find anything vaguely similar. It's stamped "E3383" RPM21Z, and has a British United Shoe Machinery Company plate. Looks to be some type of punch but it doesn't match anything in their 1911 catalogue and I can't find older catalogues, so hoping someone here can shed some light on it's function....
