Mickwhitt 5,032 #1 Posted February 21 Wooden object for you to peruse. About 9 inches long overall. One of the curved faces has leather stuck to it. The black line is a very thin slit from hole to hole the full thickness of the piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 2,738 #2 Posted February 21 I think my dad had one of those. He hit us with it when we got out of line, but I never saw it used for anything else. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny thing there is my first thought was @$$ whippah. My other guess mightah been a brake shoe of sorts. Edited February 22 by ebinmaine 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorback 1,073 #5 Posted February 22 I vote for some kind of brake shoe, considering the leather lining. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darb1964 1,093 #6 Posted February 22 I think it's a wrench of some sort, the holes go on pins and the handle is used for tightening or loosening. AKA A-whipper! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mickwhitt 5,032 #11 Posted February 22 I don't know what it is! What am I a genius? Nope it won't shine me bald head Google lens says that it is part of a Farrand organ, which makes sense with the leather and fine slot. 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
