A what was it? pedal powered tool.
« on: April 22, 2016, 11:25:42 PM »
It's missing a few things but what? I took some higher quality pics and put them on photobucket.
the lower bicycle sprocket is different than the upper sprocket, so there may have been a gear reduction or increaser mechanism?
The clamp part looks like a saw blade holder? some type of pedal powered saw blade sharpener?

Think I found it? or something similar in the 1920 Luther grinder catalog.
