this is a party puzzler! does it look like it was meant to press something? I love old wood tools.

Maybe a Call of some type. Does it make noise when plunged?

cork tool was my first thought ...
but there should be a needle or some method to evacuate pressure when depressing the cork...or bottles tend to explode...
{yes, this is from experience, big mess}


may we see a photograph of the service end of the plunger?
