Country boys what the hell is this thing?
Appears to be blacksmith mad with the hammering and forging? No nails or screws but metal flattened to keep it together.
I have no idea what it is? 1800s 1700s???????????

The tool at the top is a bailing hook.
The bottom is a kind of yoke for horses or mules I think. Or maybe for some kind of weighing scale. |

Yeppers the top one is a hook for picking up hay bales. The bottom is part of a double tree arrangement like in this link:

OK, it's for keeping liberals in check, you tie Pelosi on one side and Schummer on the other side, then stick the top one up their asses and make yell louder.

O.k. you guys are the best.
 Yall got an A+ except aviator who gets detention for being a smart ass.  Geez it must be old as it appears like I say a black smith forged it? For sure ready to take on some hard work with the crew on the farm or frontier. |

Those old bailing hooks would come in handy for leading Pelosi, Schumer, Schitt, Nadler, the Bern, etc, etc, by their nostrils... up the creaky steps to the scaffold... where they would meet Jesus and the blinding light. Amen.

Interesting though as they look quite old and as a black smith put some work into forging them. Like old guns if only they could talk.

The bottom one attaches to a pulley system that is located on the rafters of a old barn, there is a easier newer bale spear hook one in my mid 1800’s barn, got the same one on the bottom pic sitting up high on the stone foundation they left there after changing over to a spear system bale lift. I can see the one in bottom when I occasionally climb up there just sitting there on foundation, I could get to it with a ladder but never have in over 20 yrs now.
One day that thing will fall, I’ll take a pic one day and post it but it’s dark in there without the front doors open. These picker types like to stop by when the doors are open, they want to buy a old horse painting that’s inside probably painted during the late 1800’s, but it’s part of the pa Dutch barn and ain’t for sale.
