Any Clue?

looks like a pot hook for a fireplace .. or perhaps it could have been used as a meat hook, too!

 

[Ihatepoisonivy]

I wonder how far those pot hooks go back? That could be it.

 

[old digger]

That's for hanging your deer up for processing.

It is what I am going to tie you up with PoisenIvy .. LOL .. you promised to take me out hunting .. I am so sad now.. /em makes a pouty face .. look sad puppy dog eyes

 

[Ihatepoisonivy]

I live far far away now...so is it for pots or deer processing?..hmmmmm

 

[digging wv]

Looks like the deer have it.....otherwise you would have to play balance the pots..making cooking a balanced meal essential!

Skinning gambrel. Probably a little small for deer, maybe not.

 

[Red James Cash]

Tis a scale.

 

[creskol]

Okay ... now we have it .. It's a scale to weigh the deer that is suspended from the hooks to butcher before placing the meat in the cooking pots that will hang from the hooks in the fireplace to cook .. A fine multipurpose relic indeed!

I'd go with a butchering gambrel for deer, sheep or small hogs.
