This was setting on a auction lot. Looked to have been taken out of a shed after setting for many years.

Janicholson,

So is that a drag line laying across the top?

I have never seen a wooden elevator. It's neat.

That looks like the hopper for unloading the wagons.

Yes. Keeping it inside was the only way to keep it from decay and warpage. Neet device, hard to display in a museum. Jim

Oh, I'll bet you're right... now that I think about it. A drag line would be flat (at least ours was).
