I found this GEM in my grandpas shed, I have never seen one of these before but I sure wish I had when I was smithing...

Anyone have any idea what you call it, where its made, and how much it might be worth?

Its rusty but everything works just fine.

I know some of you slightly cured and mellowed gents have seen these before...
