Project Details

The information provided hereon is all the information that is provided, no further information on this item will be added.

 

Tim Grissom sent us (Tools and Trades History Society) these pictures of a tool his friend in the USA has. Suggestions for it's use have been: temporary nose ring for a bull; some form of twitch; some form of rope handler.  We think it is a heavy duty snap hook and may have been used either in boating or in farming for lifting hay or cotton bales.

Any more certain answers would be appreciated. Source: see link above

For one hand only?

I am thinking finger cuffs. No indication of size

A Pulley will have a hook to hang it up.....

 

An over head bar for the Pulley to be moved along

 

This merely connects the 2...

That way...IF you need the Pulley elsewhere...un-hook and place it where needed...
