Well Looks Like a Shoe Repair Form--well NOT!!!! so any ideas!!

[36coupe]

Found on a hay field in an old old area looks initially like something used by the COBBLER yet

the hole is round not rectangular and goes right thru. What is the purpose of the knobby item underneath??

Heavy cast iron and what is the reddish material in the heel reservoir as well. HELP!!!

standard rockers like you posted
shaft mounted rockers you call the rail mounted

yes ... that piece opens the furrow and the seed drops down behind or thru the shoe looking piece.......... the big hole in the middle of your piece could be where a metal "hose" was attached ...seeds fall down thru the flexible metal hose into the furrow...
