You are all wrong! It is a device that actually filed animals hoofs and boy did that make a stink! The upper shelf was where you place a pail of water. Don’t miss doing this chore at all!

Here is the deal…I know what it is … there was one at the the place in Windsor where I grew up. It ether had all the pieces (like this one) or this one you got here is missing the exact same parts cuz it is identical to my daddy’s. He kept it on the porch next to the front door . He said it was his ” Muddy Tony Lama holder” but I only saw him put his cow chip covered boot on it that was so as to keep the dogs from draggin’ um off somewhere. BTW We separated our cream with a large laddel from the glass gallon bottles of milk with a few cow hairs that took up most of the room in the icebox.

Unfortunately, again, wrong answers. What you are looking at is a 1914 Ligament Unilateral Distender. (LUD) This particular unit was invented by Dr. Marcos Tuas Filopian of France. Although quite archaic looking, these units worked quite well for field Ligament Unilateral Distentions.
Obviously the wounded farmer sat on the round object and held onto the “Kloob” (Long handle in bucket) The attending doctor would begin to turn the crank counter-clockwise. During each turn, the “Haffenger” on the handel would deliver a quick and tremendous crushing blow to the intended leg. This was a very successful method and only required 8 or 10 blows before the injured farmer (or spouse) was able to return to the field as a productive worker.
