What in the world...

Picked this block of wood with handle and spikes on one side yesterday at an estate sale. Wasn't sure what it was, so of course I had to buy it.

Any ideas? Some kind of lawn or garden implement?  A giant meat tenderizer? Medieval fraternity paddle?

Looks like it could it be a reliable handbrake.

Hello, I think the side with the pins would be the bottom. My guess is a large wheel chock. Regards, Lou

i see one on ebay now,not yellow....most likely a hard sell

Very commonly found on utility trucks, in a pocket custom-made to fit the chock, one on each side of the truck.  Stop the truck, figure out which way is downhill, pull the chock out, slap it down on the low side of the tire.

Thanks for the help on this one!
