clumber Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Anyone know what this was intended for? About 4 foot long, extends another foot. Has what I think is a small hanging hook at one end. Double hooks at the other with straight arms above. I'm guessing that something hung off it but really haven't a clue. A couple more pics.

oneshot1979 Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Very old riding tack hanger. Hung from roof beam of stable, lifted and lowered to aid loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 would there have been a spring housed in the tube, scales ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clumber Posted October 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 No spring inside it now. Just a quarter turn to the slot for length adjustment. Tack hanger would make sense. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve s×s Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 It looks like a tool I once used for dipping sheep, you pushed them under with one of the straight bars and used one hook to lift their head and then grabbed them by the scruff to lift it out, it was just a pit full of water +chemicals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
