Old ?farming? implement Lin & I love watching Find it,Fix it,Flog it on Channel 4.On one episode they found an implement in a barn that they couldn't find out the use of.They tried various museums etc but all the 'experts' didn't know.So does anyone here know what it's use could have been. ![]() A is a foot pedal which,when pressed,pulled down bars B.C looked like an opening that something could be placed in.D is a tightening screw,presumably to adjust for various sizes.E is a weight that returned the pedal to it's starting position. If you want to see the programme it was episode 11 of season 3.Available on catch up.

Hi, It looks like a device for sealing bottles or jars such as preservative, treacle maybe because it was used as an additive in cattle feed. doujoy ---------------------- |

Thanks for the response chaps.I don't think it could be either of those.The opening C is at a right angle to the 'presser' so anything in a bottle/jar would spill out. |

When I showed it to her (indoors) she said `google it`. But that didn`t go. I think that Gethin is nearly there, `cos it`s a wine cork REPLACER. You can tell by the shiny metal at C that confirms it. ![]() ![]() ---------------------- |
