[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 2173474, member: 6444"]I think OBB suggestion of a dough box is most likely. The sloping sides on the liner makes that likely; classic dough box shape. The pedal is strange; seems it would be easier to just remove the lid. But punching dough is easier done from above so a dough box resting on a table top would be too high (see last pic). So maybe move this to the floor and use pedal to raise lid so it can be punched down while sitting? OP's made in early 20th century when enamel steel for hygiene was the new rage; previously dough boxes would have been just wood. (I have an earlier period Windsor dough trough with no lid).
