What is it? (Just for fun)

[Plate plinker]

I know what it is, but thought it might be fun to let people guess. If you know let us wait a couple days to educate those who do not.

Looks like some type of regulator, window type built into a wall?

[Half Dog]

I am one who will need to have it explained.

[rancher1913]

the photo is sideways, and the background makes it confusing.

That just makes it more challenging! But if a mod can rotate the photo I’m fine with that.

[Pressman]

Rotated. File size is too small to change the resolution.

I still don't know what it is?????

??? fence stretcher ???

[sigep1764]

I was thinking some kind of stretcher, either for leather or whatever else.

[nun2kute]

home made sheetrock jack

[Thumbcocker]

Fence stretcher or wagon jack.

[Elroy]

I think it's incomplete,and is the release lever for a larger devise that works by ratchet action.The range of motion could not be enough to be a lifting devise ,and the handle is not overly strong looking.I Don't know why it has a little wheel,or roller on it.

[Hossfly]

Might be some type of head catcher device for live stock, tho it looks incomplete.

Not a head gate, the cross bar would hit the handle before you got it closed enough. No idea what else it could be though.

Some type of wife training device(?)

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

I can't tell where "it" starts or ends?

[frkelly74]

So, it is hanging on a nail and it has a wheel or pully at the top and and a part of some kind of ratchet device and some missing parts?

[MT Gianni]

1"x 4" furring on the side a 2x4 wall. It looks like some kind of a hinge is there also, garage type or maybe a cabinet opening?. Tool looks like an older fence stretcher.

LIKE !!!

In my day it could have been a child training device ...parents were allowed to use things like that on unruly kids .

Actually there is not enough photo to see all of it and all the framing is confusing...where does it start and where does it end.
Kind of like asking the blind men to identify the elephant ...cant see all the parts .

Long range sighting device for the Asperly Aimless rifle.

Ya gotta be careful with those things.
One wrong adjustment, and it could change the Universe as we know it.

stud stretcher-aparter in case you measured once and cut twice

[metricmonkeywrench]

Part of a Shop belt drive tensioner?

Or a sluice gate holder open thingie...

[Elroy]

Eureka! You have found the original working prototype model of the Richard Lee Safety scale. It used a weight that you hung in one of the notches instead of the steel ball,but other than that it is the same concept.

[bikerbeans]

Muffler bearing puller.

FUNNY its like the board stretcher we sent the new kids to find at the lumber yard. You know in the basement that did not exist.

[Minerat]

It's some kind of thingy-ma-bob to hold a thingy-ma-jig.

[edler7]

A Universal Lube Groove sizer.

[Gewehr-Guy]

I'm going with Thumbcocker, a small wagon or buggy jack, to remove the wheels for greasing, or putting on the snow runners.

[WheelgunConvert]

Adjusting table mechanism?
Package binding tensioner?
Gate jack?
Edit
Looking at the vertical image it reminds me of something my dad used on his table saw top when I was 5 or 6. I cannot remember what he was making but it was used a lot.

[NyFirefighter357]

I cheated and did some research, pretty cool!

[orangeeclipseman]

I was thinking a jacking device but stretcher is probably what it is

[Elroy]

I got to looking at it again,and that handle can't have but a little range of motion unless the thing also pivots at the joint that is forming what seems to be a 90 degree angle in the picture,because the handle would not only lift the notched piece,but pull it outward as well .

It’s used for one of these.

[redhawk0]

Its a brake mechanism.

[buggybuilder]

It is a carriage jack!

[Markopolo]

ok..... How long are we to be tortured?? what is it?

never mind,,, I figured it out.... its a wagon jack.

[mozeppa]

its a buggy jack.

[Hossfly]

It’s a thumb break.

[Plate plinker]

Yep buggy jack it is. Most people don’t realize how much modern buggies weigh. A single is not so bad but a double is plenty heavy.

[nun2kute]

That must be the California buggy. I never seen one with blinkers in a John Wayne movie.

Amish dragster?

[Plate plinker]

They have had lights for a long time now. Thank goodness because those things are hard to see when in a shadow.

[nun2kute]

when I was younger, the roads were snow packed all winter. I remember Caroling many times on an open sleigh on skis and bells on the horses. Mr. Leishman had an old flatbed wagon with car tires for summer use too. I wouldn't want to see either from behind, let alone in the dark. ppl today are too buisy chasing the all-mighty dollar to slow down and really appreciate the finer things in life.

[45workhorse]

Got one hanging in my shop next to my two, PHD's (post hole diggers). Don't like to use either one!:bigsmyl2:
