Help Identifying an item

[cadbury]

Hello,

I was hoping that someone could identify this item. It is from the 1860s  and is about 16 inches in eight and width.

If it has a readable Pat. number, try looking it up.

or same thing re Pat, but by name and date.

Pretty sure that's an old clothing wringer. Do a google search for "antique clothing wringer" and see what you think.
