Lot 2: A Vintage Wooden Block and Tackle Pulley System
A vintage wooden block and tackle pulley system of traditional maritime or agricultural construction. The set consists of two wooden blocks, one double-sheave and one single-sheave, with shells likely turned from ash or elm. Each block is reinforced with internal iron or steel straps and fitted with a heavy-duty forged metal hook for attachment. The system is threaded with a significant length of blue multi-strand synthetic rope. The construction features traditional metal sheave pins and a weathered, utilitarian finish consistent with mid-20th-century British farming or marine equipment.
