What Is It? Our Daily Dinner

What is it?

I'm thinking it is a cheese or maybe a mushroom slicer.
It has serrated edges on one side and smooth on the other.
Three and a half inches between the outside edges.
Cutting lines are about 1/4 inch apart.
Can't find an example on the 'net.
Was looking for a method of evenly slicing some potatoes when I remembered I had this in my drawer. Can't remember what I bought it for.

With the serrated edges I think it's a tomato slicer!
I found one here that looks similar to yours:

Here's another one, says you can slice onions and hard boiled eggs with it too.

I think we have a winner!
A tomato slicer. A lot of the ads say it slices other veggies and such stuff too. And the one here: http://www.maxwellandwilliams.co.uk/store/WJE1021-maxi-tomato-slicer/ shows an extra hand piece. Sort of looks like the extra hand piece on a mandolin so you don't bugger up your hands.
I used mine once to push mushrooms through and sliced up my thumb in the process.
Thank you for figuring it out.
