Dang i thought you would be the one to tell me what it was.

I have seen such things somewhere a long time ago don't, bloody remember where and what it was used for.

I'll see if I can come up with something.

Looks like maybe some sort of pedal??
A foot pedal for a sewing machine?

Hi There. I'm not much of a farmer, but it sort of looks like it could be part of farm machinery..something like one of many blades that made up a rake which was pulled by a tractor? Just a guess. Happy Hunting!!!

I'll assume you're thinking of a harrow. It's a good thought but the part is made of brass. A brass harrow tooth wouldn't last very long. Besides that, iron's cheaper anyway.

Break pedal out of old car? Looks like some type of pedal.

I'm picking it's an electrical switch, circuit breaker type. I can't find a pic to illustrate the type I'm thinking.
The narrow end will have a non-conductive handle attached and it will point upwards. The circuit broken by pulling the handle outwards, where it will swivel on the hinge.

Looks like a handle 2 a well pump or a handle to a big storage container like at port last but not least a handle on old citrus juicer.

I can't say for certain, but it looks like a cable stay , or wire anchor. They are used to keep a tight line on a overhead line, and can be found on either a pole, or just before the line goes into a building. They are inserted into a glide , along with the cable, and when the cable is pulled it tightens because of the wedge at the bottom. I don't have any pictures...sorry. HH M

 

[bradyboy]

have to agree with the peddle thought - but to what?

 

[relichunters]

Either a trailer hitch, or part of a plow.

It's an old satch latch for a window that had weights to help raise it. Tony
