a while ago i posted a pic of an item the cousins found in the old barn on the century farm that their cleaning out for the last time, here it is again disassembled, and a different angle, is this still a weight or is it something else?

It does not look like any window weights that I have seen.

All that I have seen are one piece cast as described by Russ.

thats whats bothering me, now that they have it apart, this thing is more complex than any ive seen and with the arm of the recliner as a size gauge its bigger too and that long slot doesn't make sense all ive seen just have a loop on them to tie them
 
as an idea, the farm sold milk in the early part of the 20th century, some old milk cans were discovered in a corner would it be on any milk stuff?
 
also grandpa and grandma put up loose hay back then,used horses, the 1939 farmall m was bought new and was the first tractor they ever had ,they pulled the hay up in the hay mow with a rope and grapple, anything there?
 
you may have it! im thinking if this was mounted as a float the rod and slot would be the adjustments and used to open a valve or turn a pump on and off???
 
(quoted from post at 17:50:36 06/18/16) Handle off a 2-man crosscut saw. Maybe most of these guys are not old enough to have used one. The prison camp I worked in used 2 man saws for years.

Now. I don 't get it.....I identified it before Dave but he gets the credit!!

BTW, Dave I worked in one of those "prison camps" too....Summit
I'm guessing yours was Pharsalia or Georgetown?
 
Started as an Acct. Clerk (G-4) '62-'64, came back '69-'72 as a Prin. Acct. Clerk (G-14) Went to Wallkill as Steward in '72....retired from there as DSA in '95. N>Y>S> was good to me! LOL
My son spent nearly all of his 33 years as a C.O. in Summit. he retired in July 2014 but unfortunately he passed 10 months later.
I really liked the "Camps" in the early days when they did all that Conservation work in the woods and on stream improvement.
