Hi folks!
My dad bought a warehouse in 74. I know that at one time the building was a blachsmith shop. Well this machine is still in the building and I have no idea what it is. I am hoping for someone to help identify its name and purpose

Remove the clutter and isolate it as best you can then get some shots at other angles while you're at it...:skip:.... It's easy to see it ran off a line shaft but where it does it's business is hidden as far as I can see......Then again someone else here may know right away what the heck it's for......:nerd:....I'd like to know myself

On closer inspection I see two rollers at the lower right with a handle above for tightening them together. That sez to me it could have been used to draw out wire, probably wrought iron wire......

I wish I could take better pics but the machine is now buried under more junk. I upload all the pics I took of the machine in 2004. I am afraid some aren't much better.

I sure would like to tear through that place, bet there's some goodies in there.....Ok, I did once run off a line shaft but it's been converted to run off an electric motor. The rollers down below could have also been used to make beads on the outer edges of sheet metal I guess. The low position of the rollers seems odd, like they would be too low to work comfortably at.
