Lot 4: Antique Manual Lever-Action Iron Wire Strainer
An antique manual lever-action wire strainer, a tool traditionally used for tensioning fencing wire in agricultural and rural fencing applications. The implement is constructed from heavy forged iron or steel and features a long lever handle attached to a triangular central pivot assembly. The mechanism includes twin terminal hooks and a fixed L-shaped bracket intended for anchoring or gripping the wire. This tool is characteristic of British agricultural equipment from the late 19th to mid-20th century. No manufacturer marks or brand names are visible on the object. A modern adhesive auction lot sticker is present on the bracket end.
