Looks like an industrial press.
Do you get a state magazine that has a article on items that are in question? If so, do write to them, with the pic., and ask them. I would also go to a welder, of a older shop, and ask them., or if you know of a older person, ask. In one sense, it looks like a side to a old sewing machine. . tho I am uncertain about that. I will ask my husband, if he agrees or not. Best wishes, and do reply. I will do some asking as well. J.
Possible they are the bases for old theater seats. I had one and had to mount it to some plywood so it wouldnāt fall forward.
If that bolt-looking item at the center of the top is threaded, Iām guessing that each is the base for an outrigger support, to be positioned some distance behind the head-stock of an old engine lathe. If Iām correct, each item is incomplete: there should be a roller ācradleā attached to that center bolt that supports long tubing or bar stock as itās being machined. The threads on the bolt allow the machinist to adjust the cradle up or down to accommodate different diameters of stock.
