press. On the rod where a chunk of material would be placed is
there an impression ? - is that a die ?

Put a chunk of wax or something and press it lightly.
See what happens - looks maybe another item..

Is it a grommet press ? button swag or Blue jean - metal grommet press...

Or perhaps a press for eyelets for printed circuit boards from
before plateed-through holes were common? Or turret terminals on
component boards?

Maybe for seating a hand on a dial indicator or a watch?

No other views posted?

Details of the rod and the head might help.

Enjoy,
