                <![CDATA[Those look like hex head bolts which put it sometime after 1900. The tips of the &quot;Spikes&quot; look very uniform- almost like bullets, and that doesn't happen by wear, they were probably manufactured to that shape. Without anything to give away scale, I have to assum it's a cellphone photograph, whcih means the overall width of the image is between 20 and 30&quot; wide. The cross-bolt in the end of the one piece means it's wood, because you'd only put a bolt there if it were wood to prevent it from cracking. The shape suggests a drum with several such assemblies arranged in a cylinder. The &quot;Spikes&quot; are not in line, which I think is the critical bit. It seems like these are &quot;fingers&quot; that act as cams upon some mechanism as the &quot;drum is revolved.<br />

Or maybe I been sleeping in this catnip too long.]]>
