This might be a somewhat unusual type of pulley. At first glance, you might not know what it's for. The 7th and 9th photos show the same area. It's chipped and catches on your finger when you touch it. There are also other scratches and dents, but they are less severe. This pulley doesn't use any metal like nails or bolts, so it might be older than it looks. I think it's made of Japanese zelkova wood, and it feels substantial, weighing about 1.1 kg. It has two wheels, one large and one small. In the 11th photo, there's a hole drilled at an angle; perhaps a rod is inserted to lock it. You can use it for various purposes, such as interior decoration, an object of art, a flower stand, or even as a functional pulley, so enjoy it. Since it's solid Japanese zelkova wood, it will become more lustrous with care. It's just barely the right size to fit in a Takkyubin Compact notebook-style box, so I can't use bubble wrap and will ship it in a plastic bag. #Antique #OldTools #Retro #Shabby #Brocan
