What Is It? – May 2014

Mack Emiry of Massey, Ont. says, “My cousin, Eldon MacKinnon, found this on a farm in Bruce County when he was cleaning up an old farmyard. As you can see, it is approximately 30 inches tall in the closed position and opens up-probably to grapple onto some object. Does anyone know what it was used for?”
