Friday night what is this?

[mudgee hunter]

Train ticket punch

You really don't want it punched again with a return trip on your stub! :lol:

 

[Manpa]

Nobody offering a new item, so what is this?

 

[goody2shoes]

What is on the other end of it?

What is on the other end of it?

That's the custom made gomco they made for me! :lol:

 

[goody2shoes]

I believe that :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[mudgee hunter]

This one will stuff most blokes!
Hold off answering Goody!!!

Sorry lads, no hints
I did try using one once!
Gave up and walked away from it..

 

[Deepseeker]

That's a tough one Mudgee hunter, I've certainly never used one. Is it a new type of Metal detector with an NF Evolution coil in the middle???

 

[mudgee hunter]

Its a bloody electric trommel! :lol:

 

[Manpa]

What is on the other end of it?

Sorry Goody, its not a good photo, lower section is a wire loop, right hand end is closed off .

 

[Deepseeker]

That looks like a socket or similar almost out of view in the bottom right corner Manpa, and there is a groove at the top that the wire handle thing could engage in, so I'll go out on a limb and say it's some pre-ratchet days equivalent of a wheel brace or nut removing/tightening contraption???

P.S. I guess you could use it as a Gomco too, but it would make one hell of a mess...... :lol:

 

[mudgee hunter]

I take it hangs, thus the horn peice would swing down to 6 o'clock.
Having two hanger handles? Got me

 

[goody2shoes]

It looks like it hangs off something....

Unsure tho

No Goody! Something hangs off of IT once you've tried to use it as a Gomco :lol: :lol:

 

[Manpa]

Not a ratchet nor Gomco thankfully.
Another better photo

Would I be right Manpa, if I said it would hang vertical from those two eyes on the left, you would then grab that tapered casting thing (which would be hanging down) along with that stirrup shaped things nearest side to it, at the same time causing it to engage in the slot meaning you can now push it back and forth (which would then allow you to say ring a bell hanging from the little U part at the bottom or cause something to move back and forth like a miners cradle or something?

sadly you couldnt be be further away from the truth if you tried, it has nothing to do with mining. You did however use the word stirrup, which may give you a clue to its use.

Ill let this run until tomorrow morning because I think someone will get it.

 

[mudgee hunter]

Are draught horses or bullocks involved ?

 

[goody2shoes]

Need another photo of it laying on the ground or on the grass
