Looks like a counterweight to something.

Gear shift knobb for an early model iron wheeled tractor.

looks like it is made to attach to a shaft with the set screw, i'm guessing a tool or weapon.

Could be a head for some sort of industrial pestle.

My first guess when seeing the set screw, was counterweight. Looks like it slips on to the end of a bar/shaft and is held in place with the set screw.
Judging by the square head on the set screw, I'd say it's probably about 60+ years old and came off a tractor or some type of farm equipment.

Cant be that old if it has a screw or bolt in it.

Counter weight for a hammer mill most likely.

I don't think it's a governor weight for a large steam engine with that wimpy attachment.  But that could explain why the rest of the machine isn't attached.

yeah it could.  I've got a hand-crank corn sheller at the house that has 1889 cast into it.  Still works great after almost 120 years.

It's just some kind of counterweight.  Finding out what kind of antique machine it came off of would be almost impossible.

Thanks all...


The item pictured is a counterweight typically used on press brakes and shears as found in metal shops. Typically two weights located at either side of the machine and mounted on lever arms were used.

The size of the weight was matched to the gauge (thickness) of the metal being cut or bent. The indentations at either side of the central hole are to provide the millwright or operator a secure gripping point when changing the weights.

This item resembles weights used by Cincinnati brand presses / shears, circa late 1800's - mid 1990's.

Hope that helped.

Holy crap, do you realize what this means?!?!?!?
