Trying to figure out what it is Let’s see… thread it on a long stick and whack someone with it ?
To be honest I don’t really know how it would be used. There wasn’t any indication in the book I was working from. So I guess you have the best guess.

Like a shackle settup? screw post? Maybe with a cotter pin?
Love hardware. Love that you are doing these from old books.
O.k. Just having a little fun with my earlier post. It’s some type of
Clevis Fork. My curiosity is what it was used on. Have never seen one with the small drive in retaining pin???
I haven’t seen one like that either.

Simple, complex and elegant all at the same time. What’s not to like
A 108 tooth spur gear from around the same time as the handle, above. Modeled entirely with native tools.

6x1 6 equals …
That’s the advantage of using arrays of components as well.
(I should have typed 6x18 equals…)
Or 6x18 in this case.

Not wanting to be negative but I have to mention that according to statistics people are divided about that.
What can I say, other than that it is a typiical thea-po.
Sweet !!
