What did I acquire at the dump?

[Superwilly]

Hi guys, took a load of trash to the dump the other day, and this item was sitting in the scrap metal pile, so I tossed it into the back of the truck. It looks like a cast iron stand of some sort, but I'm unsure what the swinging arm is all about. Can anyone identify what I have here?

That has tons of potential ...nice score.

I don't know, but I agree with jabber. Whether you use the stand for a vise or a grinder or an anvil etc, that swinging arm and tray looks like it would be a handy spot for work pieces, tools and whatnot.

No clues here either but NICE SAVE!

My guess is it was an Anvil stand, and if it wasn't, it would be. Especiall with the attached table for tools, work, etc... ideal for small work or a farrier. You could even set up a small coal forge on that "table" and have a mobile smithy.

The possibilities are endless.

It's about 24" in height, and I would guess around 50 lbs in weight. I don't have an anvil yet, but I think I need one now! I feel like the stand would be a little low for a grinder or vise, but maybe not?

The round shelf looks medical. I'm thinking it may be the base of an old dental drill.

I'll try again.

I think leg17 is on to something.

I have one...minus the seat. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it.

 

[Superwilly]

Ha, I think you may be right! This piece might be older than I originally thought. I'll look closer for a date or maker stamp.

I'll try again.

Never ceases to amaze me that no matter what oddity somebody posts in here, somebody else can figure out what it is! That's a cool piece.

It's a cream separator base. The round platform is for a bucket to sit on. Your missing the separator part of it.

Just like me a bunch of kids, you have to tell them twice.
