<p>[QUOTE="Wraith_3, post: 4537765, member: 78007"]The dimensions are in the first post. The side with the ornamentation just slides up to open it. The mechanism on the side doesn't move other than when you pull the skinny rod, it moves the mechanism, but I can't see it actually doing anything that I can tell. It doesn't connect to anything inside, though there is a hole there, so it could be missing something. The farm would have been near DeGraff, Ohio, U.S. Here are a few more pictures I had. The holes in the back have an odd numbering system, so maybe that's a clue.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Gt9YHYv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Hole under the mechanism:</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/Q0wLf7g.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Showing direction it moves.
