What is It? Game 10.

It looks like a smaller version of a machine that is used to dig up trees for replanting.

I believe it has a maritime use of some kind. I believe it is an anchor or part of an anchor.

From the three handles, I would guess it’s used to stretch something, but it can’t be barrels because it’s too small. Maybe it makes small barrels?

As the previous poster said, it’s for digging holes…more specifically, I believe it’s for digging water wells. It would be lowered into a well on a rope and a worker or workers at the bottom would step on the tabs to press it into the soil to get another bite. When pulled up with the rope (tied to the center loop) the bottom closes together pulling the soil up with it.

I think it’s a template for coopers… to bend the iron pieces wrapped around the coop

Post Digger (as in a tool for digging fence posts)

It’s a mould for weaving someting round.

I doubt it’s for digging holes, if this were the case i would think the “blades” would be metal.

oops someone answered that…part of a chandelier

I reckon its something for keeping your tophat in shape. Much like the fancy gadgets that you can put in your shoes or boots to keep them in shape.

Looks to me like it’s a top hat block/stretcher.

By “cooper” I mean to say “barrel maker” ^g^

Yup, used to make barrels, but I seem to be too late

It’s for picking up cotton.

Looks like the blades to a fan. The shaft connects to the interior loop, then the blades drop down when activated. Either that, or it is a banana.

Upon closer inspection, it would be difficult aerodynamically for this design to dispell air efficiently, but very able to raise, lower and CHURN fresh cows’ milk into a thick slurry that, upon refrigeration, would thereafter be called Butter.

It’s for stretching top hats

Its a retention device for lifting (or lowering) cylindercal objects like pipes with one rope or cable. It goes in the cylinder, spread the tangs, rope or hook goes in the eyelet.

Art, how big is your head?

Its a form to build buckets around.
