My suspicion is that it was used someplace like a news room, where 
they wanted to roll out the paper fast and tear it off quickly, so the 
heel of the left hand could just roll that big round wheel -- instead of 
having to grab the small handle and crank it a bunch of times.

Yes, it does look like a re-inker ... probably hollow and filled with that 
horrible purple ink that got all over everything ... with a felt-like outside 
that the ribbon rolled against and absorbed the ink.
