A matched pair of antique wooden barn pulley blocks from an early American farm hay-lifting system, with solid hardwood bodies, original iron swivel eyes and internal wooden sheaves.
Professionally packed for fragile shipment. Ships next business day. Full refund if damaged in transit.
Pulley blocks like these were used in barn lofts and hay trolley systems to raise and lower heavy loads with rope and block-and-tackle rigging. The simple, durable construction reflects late 19th to early 20th century agricultural craftsmanship. Surviving matched pairs are less common than single blocks, since most were separated or worn out over decades of use.
Today they are popular as farmhouse and architectural-salvage decor: shelf and mantel accents, coffee-table pieces, or part of a larger rustic or industrial display.
Condition: honest age and farm-use wear with rich aged patina. The internal wooden wheels are intact, and the forged iron hardware shows the age and wear expected from working use. Please review all 20 photographs; they are part of the condition description.
Type: wooden barn pulley blocks, pairMaterials: hardwood, ironEach block approx. 8 in. tall x 5 in. wide x 3 in. deepEra: late 1800s to early 1900s
