if you click on it there’s a comment on the Flickr page suggesting it might be part of a lathe, but it seems like the rotor is attached to an arm rather than something that would be suitable for clamping a piece of wood. here’s a good picture of an actual lathe for comparison:
I personally think it is a bunch of rusty stuff that A guy put together to create a mailbox so that people will look at it and go “what the heck is that”

My initial response was that its an over sized cowboy revolver. But then I saw the pump on the side. The barrel looks like some sort of motor/rotor.
I don’t know…What is it!?

since i can’t give you a real answer, i’ll say it’s an Uranium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator (in a second there will be an Earth-shattering kaboom)

Maybe the location has something to do with it. Since it looks like something that should explode like a cannon, maybe it’s “passive postal”
