Here is one listed on here recently... http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,306527.0.html

Thank you Creskol, BigCypressHunter, and Traderoftreasure!

This explains why I found a lot of bullet casings in the same area.

What period would this rope tensioner be from? I am guessing 1890-1920s?

Sorta hard to pin it down on those, as that design spanned many years.
