The brass bit is free to move on the shaft.
Nothing to do with clocks.
This is food related.

Place circular base on top of bearing / seal surface and tap the weight down, pushes the bearings in evenly, and stops that annoying bearing-going-in-at-an-angle-and-then-jamming event and damaging the seating?
nope

Mr S, Is it something to do with home brewing or winemaking, alcohol related?tick - tick - tick0

No.
The bit that people have referred to as the base, is indeed the bottom of the thing in that it's used that way up, but it only a stand as such when it's stored.

Is it a cork/stopper of some sort? You invert it, wedge the weight in then you can use "pump" it to get air in/out of bottles?0

Just to recap... It's for food, the brass bit slides up and down, and the base is the bottom of the item in that it's used vertically, but it's only there as a stand?0

Not quite. It's a part of the function, but it acts as a stand when it's not in use. Other than that, you've about summarised it.
There was also an early guess which was close to the truth as well, when someone said it was a slide hammer. The brass bit is held at the top, and then let go. It falls with just the right amount of force required to do one task.

BOOM.
As i said at the start, this is my homemade version, but it does the same job.
How on earth have I managed without one of these "Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"
