    Turned into. This looks so familiar. Something nautical.

    Looks like a wooden wheel hub.

    Ah! There we go. I think rnwerner is correct.

    That's what I was thinking too, and probably industrial rather than off a wagon. It would have to have been an awfully huge wheel and it's really long for a vehicle hub.

    I suppose it could be a lantern pinion, but I would expect more wear.

    My first impression was African and part of a musical instrument, but what do I know.

    I could see someone with a stick raking it over those bars. How big is it?

    Maybe it's from a toy wagon? I thought it looked rather fragile.

    thanks for the replies. It is maybe about 20" long.
