<p>[QUOTE="hokeypix, post: 33486, member: 385"]I'm so happy to have been directed to this site! OK....these pulleys (or are they called block and tackle? or both?) are big, heavy, and WAY out of my comfort zone. Hoping some of you can help ID/value. I think I found a few online, but not all.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are about four. I'll see if I can post them all here, or will post one by one on this thread (still very new to posting photos here).</p><p><br /></p><p>This first one is huge and heavy - over 14" with the hook, and 4" deep. The hook latches on and off. No markings. Appreciate any info on what it is, age, value. Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]8399[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]8400[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This next one is smaller, and has some sort of mark on either side, but I can't make it out. I found similar ones with an anvil mark, but this isn't an anvil. </p><p>[ATTACH]8402[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]8401[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This one - super heavy, lost of chains. I looked up the company. S.F. BOWSER & CO., FORT WAYNE, IND, and they dealt in auto parts, but no sign of this particular item (whatever it is).

[QUOTE="hokeypix, post: 33486, member: 385"]I'm so happy to have been directed to this site! OK....these pulleys (or are they called block and tackle? or both?) are big, heavy, and WAY out of my comfort zone. Hoping some of you can help ID/value. I think I found a few online, but not all. There are about four. I'll see if I can post them all here, or will post one by one on this thread (still very new to posting photos here).
