Ooooouuuu, Kinky. :yoyo:
Yep, that ones definitely a sex toy Barry :alscalls: :innocentwhistle:
I'm going to guess a stretcher of some kind. And by the looks of it, it stretches dresses. :shrug:
Dog cart yoke.
Can't tell for sure from the pic but if the ratchet teeth angle the way they appear to, it is a squeezer rather than a stretcher. Maybe to squeeze down a momma to get her into a dress that needs stretching. :innocentwhistle:
Squeeze down a friction fit lid for a barrel?
Grip something that can be carried by two men, one on each end of the stretcher-like side poles, probably something hot. ??
Okanagan is on the right track.
Damn he thought that right through :laf:

But what was it used for, specifically?
I cant come up with anything. :shrug:
Based off Okanagan's leads I'm going to say maybe for two guys to carry a barrel?
Whiskey barrels!
Not barrels, but round and heavy.

Carrying a pot of melted metal to pour into a mold? Making cannon balls?
Nope. It was used for moving parlor and other potbellied stoves.
uhg! :doh2: I was just going to say that :innocentwhistle: :laf:
Stoves! ... Dang it I was late again :doh2: :innocentwhistle:
I should have realized what that was. We used one just like it, well ours was painted green, to move the old stove from the living room to the dining room last winter.

Well of course. If you let it die out it gets cold.
