This was most likely part of an early coal car. The remains of the handbrake remain, and the spokes were aparently forged by hand due to the curl or "lip" crease in the middle of each spoke. The wooden body is also suggesting my theory. even the buffers are wooden!!!

It worked on the surface of a coal mine and as you can see a very long time ago...

okay I can see the purpose of it now. I have worked around some old mines guarding the surface works during shutdown and recovery operations. the machinery of mining is something that is truly interesting. You see a device you know it has a purpose but it's just something you cant rap you head around till you know what it was meant for.

Every such thing you speak of is around to help us through life , not to extend it ..

Every tool we have is just a highly refined rock on a stick. We should use them to make life better for ourselves our neighbors and people in general.


reminders of old machines, old ways of doing things are fun to look at, fun to examine because they are the end result of a humans efforts and ingenuity. As such they are valuable, not so much for thier utility, but for the efforts of the person or persons who created them
