So since I have some evidence that it is a rolling jointer and no
evidence pointing in any other direction, I'm going to have to keep my
current answer for now. If anyone finds additional information on this
tool one way or the other, please let me know, I'd be happy to take a
look at it.

Here's a long shot: A roller to set the cotton caulking on a small
carvel planked hull. The one pictured, however doesn't look like any
caulking rollers I have seen.
