Is that bronze or brass? Or just corroded iron or steel?

Old phone crank. Hook a wire to each of the terminals. Drop one wire in the water in front of the boat and one in the back. Crank it, then net up the fresh fish.
They were low voltage, but high amps.

Old hand crank generators used in phones could produce 120 Volts in some models. Most will produce at least 80

You messed up your post by not providing a scale next to the contraption.
The grain in the wood helps, but not really. We need to know the size.

Obviously not. It was narrowed down pretty quickly. Scale doesn't change the construction. It could be the size of a truck, a rotating shaft wrapped in metal with wire leads is still gonna be a generator of some kind.

Ifk but I am sure the guy at Pawn Stars has a buddy that specializes in the history of that item.

Appears to be some type of imprinting or embossing device??

There's a sub Reddit dedicated to people identifying things like this. I rarely see them not properly identify something, you should post it over there too

You are right, but it changes the function.
