I take it this is some sort of old logging tool.
Looks like something a local pub would buy thumbs up
yeah its for turning logs and moving them , a made in New Zealand device made long befor bottle jacks , this one has had almost no use , collectors item these days , they would look great with some old axes and saw's in a display.....wave
Shame the old guy has to sell of his past to pay some bankers quarterly bonus or some other such politicking nonsense.

Where's Robin Hood when needed.

But hey I'm just rambling on.

Normally the kids take care of their elderly parents bills and make sure their comfortable...what we give in the early years we recieve back in the latter years thumbs up

pointless crying out timber when the tree has already fallen.

Nicefeet says it all.

Here is the last word of Alexander the great before he died, and i quote ..

" Bury my body and keep my hands outside, so that the world knows, the man who won the world had nothing in his hands when he left "
