    Looks to be some type of adjustment arm, maybe from old machinery such as a tractor or a tractor implement. Maybe used to lower/raise an old belly mower? But you probably already know this.

    It is an adjustment arm of sorts. The center piece is placed in a lock down position, the "T" is the handle, and the acorn end holds another piece which is to be moved/adjusted, push/pull, up/down. This I'm sure of. I've seen one like this before, just can't place where?

    No guys.

    That is definitely an arrow for the guy who wants to use a crossbow while acting as a bouncer.

    It appears to be a boxwed dranger spike twisted brake jangster.
    i've only see a few. I don't know if SAWMAN still has his or not. i know he sold one to Dan1612, and I think Sean got the other two.

    Ok got an email from Mid-West Tool Collectors Association. I emailed them a pic to figure out what this was.

    This tool is the interior part of an old wooden shoe stretcher.

    I would have never guessed that. LOL

    I thought it had the look of that, but with the wooden part missing, it didn't click...


    back in the days when income was lower, and shoes were made well, with cobblers to repair them, instead of the throwaway society we have come to, I used them several times, to extend the life of a shoe..along with resoling them


    I never remember a cobbler that was not a craftsman, everyone I ever used did quality work.

    vanishing occupation, one on pineforest rd, the saddle place is the only one I know now
