typed in rec.woodworking the following:
5 tress are sprouting leaves. 3 other trees look like they are alive, but no sprouting leaves, yet. Couldn't find 2 other trees... cows probably trampled them.

What is it? State surplus auction has a "something" they labeled as woodworking equipment. Looks similar to an old school desk.... top image on page 117. Not uncommon for them to mislabel stuff. I'm curious as to what it actually is.

Without a closer examination, to me it looks like it could be a
paper "guillotine" for cutting paper to size, cleaning up the edges of
textblocks, or similar.
Close - it's a sheet metal shear
