How Good Are You

Awesome thread.  What about this thing. I found this in my papas farm a long time ago. My grandparents had passed away and I didn't have anyone that I could ask about it.

That is very interesting but I have no idea. I'm going to put those photos on my phone and show some of my older Amish friends to see if they have any idea what that is or was used for.

Thanks. It was obviously some kind of wheel off of something farming or gardening related but I'd love to know exactly what if anyone recognizes it. I think someone said something about a corn something or another one time but I can't remember.

I'll play..

I am just scanning through looking at the pictures and have not read all the responses, but I worked a many a day in the tobacco fields in and around the tobacco capital of the world, Fuquay Varina, North Carolina - and that looks like an old cutter. A man has not lived until he has had a nicotine headache that usually lasted two to five days when putting tobacco up.

I'm not going for the wheel idea, both of them deals sticking out the side aren't centered.  Maybe some type of gear or agitator?

This is a tool from my great grandfather's shop.  It was hand made for a specific purpose.  I think you will be able to guess the function by the design.  Big points if you can guess the business for which he used it.

this is a pic of the back, not a buckle, looks like it was stapled to a strap maybe.

yes they are glass insulators but not fake, off my Grandfathers back porch from the 60's but I might try some whiskey out of one of them but it won't be a cheap one!

I agree. Gear is what I was thinking I just said wheel.

Fencing staple puller?  My first thought was horse shoeing but I wouldn't see why it would need the curved part on the end.

This is an illegal snood stretcher, and that's why the snood length measurement was dropped from the NWTF record book qualification
