An antique cake frosting form that's missing its plunger?
The first picture looks like it has the plunger and I agree with @cmerlo1

That's what adds the star after the grade in an NGC holder.
Could be anything, he was a collector of coins, cars, tube-radios, cameras, teakettles and more.
His specialty was buying cars that people took apart and couldn't put back together. My wife's 1969 Camaro was $100, the engine was in pieces in the back seat...circa 1978.
Easy - one is a tape measure and the other is a ruler.
What you have there is a steel tape measure and a wooden ruler.
Edit:
Oh! You just beat me to it.

Good one David...you win so far!
Looks like it was modified and turned into something else maybe something for the farm

Cookie press. Part of one, anyway.

Agree with cookies - the modern ones have a replaceable end for different types of cookies with electric plunger.
Makes star shaped cookies
Darn small cookies. Look at the size of the hole.
How about a churro extruder?
I don’t think it’s a bakery item. Size and the sharpness of the star doesn’t make sense for a cookie. Also some tool marks and wear. Don’t think pressing dough or splashing frosting would cause that. Double handles don’t make sense for delicate baking jobs. Never know though.
Looks like an old grease gun...missing the nozzle though.... Cheers, RickO
“Non negotiable” What is the check written for?
I go for old churro maker
Looks like something made from a shell casing. Maybe a form of trench art

If you push a lot of dough while keeping the opening just over the cookie sheet, you get a flower. If you make a mini churro, then you can loop it into a wreath. Annual Christmas cookie ritual at our house.

Just guessing, maybe a part of a larger mass production machine. The two handles for loading it into the machine and the indentation maybe where the part was held on by the machine. Making cookies possibly?

I believe the antique pastry press is the correct identification although, missing the plunger. Icing does not seem to be the primary use for it as there does not appear to be a method of exchanging tips. My first impression was a medical irrigation syringe, however, the ability to exchange tips seems to preclude that use also.
I say cookie press. When the dough touches the metal tray it sticks, pull back and move on to the next spot. Dough spreads out while it is baking. IMO.
