Default Saw Thingy Whatzit

It looks like a "gang saw for scroll sawing", but I doubt that's what it is
really to be used for.

Any ideas would be appreciated,

I agree, probably from the 1950's. Very reliable when I used it in the
60's for tomatoes.

Tomato slicer. If it was the larger version it could be used for bread.
