Last June I stopped at the typical yard sale mostly junk, but spotted an interesting brass fixture very heavy maybe 8-10 lbs with the original box and about 10" H X 4" D X 6" W, the seller nor I had a clue as to what it was, he had bought it twenty years previously and couldn't figure out what it was for and got tired of moving it around on his work bench! 
( I never have that problem LOL) So I offered him $5.00 figuring I could get that back in scrap if nothing else, he said "good luck!"
I researched it on the good 'ol "google" site, it was stamped "Hanau press" and the flasks were marked "upper" and "lower" well the research was fast and came up with Upper and Lower "Denture Mold" LOL
, I knew it was some sort of mold as it had the top holes similar to a bullet mold and dissasembled easily but that was the furthest thing out there I ever would've guessed! So I threw it on e-bay and about crapped when it sold for $125 plus shipping! Holy cow man! 
BONUS!
here's one similar but not as big and alot worse condition.
