I found this while detecting a site where an old house used to stand until the late ’50s early ’60s. I have no idea on what it is. I believe it’s an old school knife sharpener. Has a small pulley on the side. Any help or brainstorming would be great!
that so cool, what a find. sorry i can’t help in giving what its called or used for but wow that is really cool to see. thanks for sharing!
Welcome! I find some really old interesting things around here. I found 2 old house sites that are now just level ground
Update, the “roller” part is metal, I had thought it was stone cause it was so grainy and brittle. Could scrape it and it would “dust off” some grainy bits. Put magnet over the dust and it all stuck….. So strange
I’m stumped. I hope you figure out what this is, I have a no clue at all. Interesting find, you must find cool stuff like this all the time. What is the most valuable thing you ever found?
I found these two items. I would bet these are the most valuable.

Is that a LoveSac in the background?
Just a hatchet. I’m sure of that. And no, lol our dogs bean bag bed
Tried searching the web, but nothing came up. Looks like it has a small pulley on one side that would fit a belt like my grandmother’s treadle sewing machine used.
