3D Contraption - What is it for?

This slowly decaying relic of a bygone age is kept in the stables of an old mansion house near my home. What do you suppose it was used for?

This is a 3D or stereo photo. Sit between 2-3 feet from your monitor. The left eye looks at the right image and the right eye looks at the left image. Do not strain or go bug eyed. Relax. A central image will appear giving stereo depth! Comments invited.

If you enjoy stereos why not look at my other stereo threads and let me know what you think?

looks like a kinda log hauler.

hmmm... yeah, definitely for lifting something on the hook at the front (back?) there!

here's the modern version. http://www.bergequipme​nt.com …or%20&%20log%20​hauler.JPG

That sounds entirely plausible, Kraig, but it is not a log hauler! Thanks for your comment!

You're right, Dew, it was used to keep something lifted .... but what?? Thanks.

From the size of the spring i would say something heavy,big box,cofin?(correct spell?box for dead bodies).

When i got your message i was trying to reply to you from my own thread,,you know what they say,big brain communicate..

The photo looks realy realy good,infact,i was looking at it for so long that for a moment it looked real.
Great job,(as always ofcours)..

I downloaded the software and looking forward to use it,but the weather looks a bit....

Thanks for teaching us that new stereo thing,keep them coming,you are officialy the king of stereo.....(ok not music).

Well, I have learned something new, Kraig, but the contraption is not a log hauler! Thanks for the link: most interesting.

Looks to me like an old construction Mule powered Dump Cart. Sort of the Original Mack Truck.

Thank you for the regal praise, Dimitri! The cargo could be heavy, but not a coffin The King of Stereos: I could definitely get used to that! Cheers, Buddy!

This is definitely horse drawn, Stoney, so a mule could do the job too. This is no dump cart ... Thank you.

Lovely 3-D shot Baliollman- almost tempted to walk around it, but haven't the foggiest what it was used for

I am sure, some one will work it out, Brian! Thanks for commenting.

I don't know what it was used for but the 3-D effect is awesome.

Another great 3D project Balliolman. Based on the colour and attention to detail, I'm thinking its use is more official and/or ceremonial (as opposed to regular day to day use). So I'll guess it that is a cannon holder/transporter. If correct a good 'shot' for a canon forum!!!
