A winkey diddle to grind smoke? Honestly, I have no idea.
The above was an expression my grandfather used all the time.

Re: What's this? I have no idea
My estimate is it is a vintage wire / line dispenser, as the cam follower yoke would move as unspooling ribbon from a spindle mounted between the centers as material came off.
It could have been multi-purpose and have done wire, twine, etc.
I have seen some similar devices in general appearance used for that.
Since it lacks articulation mechanisms to wind, it logically would dispense from spools, unless this is only part of a mechanism, that actually used the squared ends to spin material onto a spool.
