Well, yeah, it doesn’t make sense without the associated helmet and jetpack…

Why so many lonely, unmarried sheepfarmers used it is a mystery. Why would you lock the hindlegs of a pretty sheep in place with such a device?

If a big farmer had a small wife she could climb him more easily during breaks on those warm days in the field.

Let me guess, it’s a Merriam Cast Iron Corn Cutter. What did I win?

From Dave: “But how many have actually used one or know how they work?”

You lie down on the ground. Then a fellow farm hand grabs you by both arms and swings you around in a circle while walking up and down the rows of corn. Ta da!

Looks like something with which to cut hay or, rather, to trim hay bales. that’s my guess.

It’s a footrest for your right foot, so you can look really cool and relaxed on gardenparties.

It’s a cast iron corn cutter

By: Lindsey

I believe it is a RonCo Ginsu Chopper. It slices, it dices, it makes vegetable chopping a fun family affair!

But wait….there’s more…..

lets hope he does’t try to scratch an itch on his leg with his foot…I can’t even imaging the amount of self inflicted harm this could cause.

it’s for motorcyclists so they can stab people with their feet while they ride

I believe it is used to make briar thicket fence row hedges, it that you push down to half cut off the stock and bend it over.

It’s a man-plough, for those who can’t even afford a donkey or a wife, it’s the Man-Plough, from TomCo!

hope that’s not his left leg…

By: streetattack

guess I am a tad late to guess but I agree that it is a wheat (crop) cutter…for people harvesting without a plow?

You people. Don’t you recognize this? Back when Hermes fought the Harpies, he took a bad hit to the leg, and lost one of the wings off of his feet. While it was re-growing, Vulcan (or was it Hephaestos?) fashioned him this keen prosthetic leg wing. Worked like a charm. Don’t you people read the news? Sheesh.

I’s a leg from the 1970s judging from the pale denim flare and cowboy boot combo.

wearing some sort of surgical caliper.

It’s a boot.

Ohhhhhh…. You mean the black thing strapped to his leg… Others have already gotten that; corn cutter. But how many have actually used one or know how they work?

Its for cutting down crops and brush as you walk.

It looks like something you would use for climbing up a tree. Stick the blade in the trunk and use the foothold to support yourself. If not a tree, an electric pole?
