Cheese Press?

I need some help identifying this thing. I think it’s a cheese press but I’m not entirely sure. It reads “LITTLE GEM no.1” on both sides. There is no other markings besides these so any help with a maker would be greatly appreciated as well. You folks seem to be the authority on cast iron so I’m hoping someone recognizes this piece.

Could be a cheese press, fruit or lard press? Never seen a square one they a generally round.

Yeah that’s why I assumed it was for cheese but really I have no idea. Usually i’m Pretty good with finding pictures and info online but this one has me stumped.
