If this is a single wheel mounted vertically on a sawhorse like frame

driven with a crank or treadle and used to sharpen scythes, sickles,
mowing machine cutter bars and all the other cutting implements used
on the farm.

Usually after the original rusted out because the kids left water in
the trough, and the bottom of the wheel got soft, and the kids got
thumped for using the grinder without telling anybody :-)
