WHAT IS IT?

It looks like it would be strapped to ones feet. Maybe for climbing trees?

I second that.
There is a leather belt to wear, along with strapping the feet in. And maybe the circle thing goes around the tree, for chopping down said tree?
 

Well that's embarrassing, better not say what the first thing that sprang mind was. :shame:
Yours is a far more practical use for it Rkunsaw. :glee:

On the offshot you haven't nailed it...

Foot hooks for gathering a crop into bundles for cutting?
 
I agree on the tree climbing belt and hooks. The belt is to help keep the climber from falling off of the tree. It looks really similar to a linemans belt and hooks, so it may be for climbing power poles rather than trees. It would be hard to get those long spikes around the branches on a tree, but fine for climbing one of the wooden power poles.

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winna', right out of the gate!

Rkunsaw and Poppy share First Place for their answer of a climbing rig for a tree or pole.

Although they could be used for tree climbing they were designed for linemen to aid in scaling poles, so you BOTH share credit for the win.

Congrats guys, and thanks to everyone for playing!



I see I'll have to be devious again and find something really difficult ... I've said it before and I'll say it again, you folks are just too smart ...
