My crank needs ID

[mojjax]

It's just a crank thing , but I thought it was strange it is marked Zoo Direct To?.

The "?" represent letters that are worn away . Thanks for any info !

Looks like an awning crank...

I believe that's close. It's some kind of adjustment crank definately not an engine crank, Tony

It looks like the crank to my meat grinder.

shaker handle for a stove, wood or coal

I'd say it's an ole auto or tractor engine crank.

Sorry,, That one on Ebay is not an engine or tractor crank!! An engine or tractor crank is designed to slip after the engine starts. It can not be square on the end. Tony

?!! Sorry Tony Sure looks like one to me other than it being a square end not a triangle.

Here is on for a Model A with a square end.

[Pangus]

are you sure that's a "zoo"? it looks more like a decorative design...

 

[crazyjarhead]

Zoo direct That's a good one

 

[mojjax]

I'm pretty sure it says Zoo . Maybe it's for cranking up the door on a gorilla cage or somethin ?

Looks like a shaker handle for a coal stove to me. I still use one today.
Kalamazoo made coal stoves, ( maybe a connection there )?
