The link works fine.
I surprised no one put an unboxing/review on YouTube when the device first
came out. ;-)

I'll take a shot...
Since it is sitting on top of a crate that says 4 Doz Eggs, it might be a egg carton forming
press.
I'm not sure what material you would use, maybe some semi-dry paper pulp. Admittedly, I'm
not sure how you would remove the carton if it was still of a formable consistency once pressed.

I remember a JHS school trip from NYC to the Amish country in PA. We were
sternly told that we were not allowed to take pictures of the Amish.
I was quite the rebel in those days and would not be denied. I sat on a=20
bench, put my Kodak 126 cartridge camera on my lap and pointed it at an
Amish family. Snap, slooooowly, quietly wind...Snap, slooooowly, quietly wi=
nd...Snap.
2 of the 3 pictures came out perfect. The third one had decapitated the=20
family.

I remember reading an article one time where someone walked into an
Amish factory and found that it was full of multiaxis NC machines
working a way but lit with gas.
The Amish apparently make a distinction between what is needed to be
competitive in the market and what is allowed socially.

Not so strange if you consider that the damn thing was probably first

took them to start making computer desks. ;)

Well, you've got me by a few years but I went looking for the type of
vintage egg cartons that I described earlier. I definitely recall
seeing them in the home back in the 1950's but couldn't recall if they
were still in vogue when I was a supermarket bagger in the early 1960's.
I did a Google image search for vintage 1950's egg cartons and while I
got a lot of the molded pulp ones (even some foam ones, such are the
vagaries of Google search), lo and behold I found some of the die cut
heavy paper/light cardboard ones that I recall.
As a bonus I also found two of the "mystery machines" which started this
thread. One was labeled "egg carton press" and the other, I think, "egg
carton maker."
They didn't make the cartons, they merely formed them into a usable
shape from a die cut piece of heavy paper stock. It looks like you'd
lay the stock on top of the device and pull the lever down and that
would "pop" the pockets into place to hold the eggs. Think of the stock
being similar in weight to "shirt board" that the cleaners & retailers
used to use to package new or newly cleaned and pressed shirt. It would
be cut like a puzzle and pressing down with this tool would lock
everything in place simultaneously. The cartons I recall could be
flattened again by hand if you were careful - they really were kind of a
puzzle.

Only egg "carton" I saw for many years was the "flat" that held 1
gross of eggs and fit into the crate shown in the original picture -
or more often a double one (side by side) that the eggs went into when
they came out of the nest

I'm old enough to recall that eggs were once sold in lightweight
cardboard cartons that were obviously die cut and "assembled" to hold
the eggs.
There's no way this device could have anything to do with today's foam
plastic cartons or the molded paper cartons. However, take a flat die
cut carton that needs to be folded along the dotted lines and this is
your tool.

There is a Mennonite sect up here that is very similar to the Amish
- and they too are VERY industrious. They crank out all kinds of
components on high tech computerized machines - all run off a deisel
generator which also functions as the central heat source inthe
winter.

The "fancy" ones have some extra mechanical features -
but the one at the auction seems too simple to actually work ?
Dunno ..

I remember two types of egg cartons. One was the Molded paper ones with =
in which each egg was placed in it own little cup.
The other was constructed like the box that you may see for Christmas=20
tree ornaments. The dividers work pieces of thin cardboard with another =
for a divider.
Maybe I am being dense but I don see how the pictured devise could make=20
egg cartons.
The angles on the projection of the massive piece look wrong, and the=20
"Cutter" appears to go between the wide grove in the middle of the=20
massive piece.
Maybe I am not old enough to see the type of egg box it would make. I=20
am only 75 years old.

Possible...I wonder at the asymmetry, though...
