I've seen 2 American Bald Eagles in my neighborhood. One
flew low at my car with a few crows pecking at it, and a smile
on it's beak. Stopped. but couldn't find my phone camera quick enough.

Almost every spring, we see a Bald Eagle sitting in a dead tree on a farm pond. It only stays for a few days and then moves on. The snag it would sit in has fallen down so I doubt we will see it again.

A Red Tailed Hawk wounded a crow years ago. The other crows were trying to help out the wounded one. They kept an eye on the hawk and were making a bunch of noise. The hawk sat in a tree and waited...

Hopefully this meets the OP's expectations.
We're cleaning out the house which my grandfather built in 1928, and which my parents lived since 1979. This calendar has been hanging in the cellar since 1981. Next year it will be good again.

I am bringing it home.

Who can tell me what this is?

They don't appear to exist any more. ??

Does it move? Looking at the construction, it wouldn't move far and I can't quite guess how much.
Something to advance a chain driven whatever?
Something to hold a chain in place?
Judging by the teeth.
Let us know if you find out.

It's a wagon jack.

Do you have a video of it in action?

All the best,

I didn't mean my question the way that it came out, I already knew it was a wagon jack.

Was guessing it was a jack of some type, but unsure of specific use.

Interesting design Mr. Jstpssng. Guessing the way the linkage is configured, once raised, does the handle stay locked in the raised position?

That's the part I couldn't figure out. Thought it might have been for tipping a keg, rolling a keg, or something similar where the operator had to maintain down force on the handle.

Nice barn find!

My great, great grand parents owned a country store eons back in time...

20-30 years ago, my mother was visiting a thrift or antique store in the area of the country store. She found a calendar that my great, great grand parents had created with an image of the country store. The calendar was pretty old.
