    Catalogue says Men at building site with machinery, Co. Donegal, and there is a mention of 1959 as well as the 1950-60 spread.

    It looks to me as if it is designed to rotate - a bit like a cement mixer. Part of a food processing plant?

    Could it be a huge rotary fish scaler? Killybegs a center for fish processing. Hmm, those seem to generally have a more open sieve design.

    it might be that the large rings are to strengthen the vessel under pressure, there is a grip handle and vari- lever at the bottom right .... maybe for processing fish oil. as often said, you smell Killibeggs before you see it...

    Foxglove The further ring looks to have cog teeth on it.

    Maybe a rotary kiln rather than a food processor?
