Heavy Metal Holder - 1882

[mojjax]

It weighs almost 5 pounds . I was thinking that it might be a flag pole holder , but the adjustable teeth part swivels 360 degrees w/ the big wing-nut . It looks like it inserted into another part where the six-sided hex thing is . The insert holes are 1 1/4 inches . Pat . June 6 , 1882 . # 7 Thanks !

Kind of looks like a fruit corer.
put the one leg in hole in counter.

Possible. Don't know for sure.

Hi, it looks like a fishing rod holder or fishing outrigger holder. Cheers, Mike

Possibly something used in wood turning?

Could be a part of an apple peeler or parer.

That thing could accommodate a mighty big apple! LOL

potato or other tuber peeler?

Set the hex bit in the rowlock, set the angle for the dangle and Bob's your Uncle. Your fishing rod is laid back - ready for the strike. Cheers, Mike
