Alice's guess is probably good - but it might have been possible to
sew any of the tricky seams on it, including the wrist. Clearly it is
a special-purpose sewing machine. I noticed at the right, where the
body joins the disk the needle appears to enter at the far edge,
there seems to be a cutter. Perhaps it was designed to sew together
the lining and the outer material/leather of the glove, and trim the
resulting seam?

Any ideas on what it is and how it works? Is the pair of gloves in the
manufacturer's plate a clue?

I showed this to my DH. He researched the company and found it came
from a town that was known for glovemaking and leatherwork. This
machine sews something that is not a standard straight seam.
My best guess is that it sews the hem around the wrist section of a glove.
Any other ideas?
