antique F.E. Myers & Bro. knot passing barn hay pulley

An antique F.E. Myers & Bro. cast iron and wood knot-passing hay pulley, an early piece of American barn equipment used in hay handling systems. The large wood sheave sits within a cast iron frame bearing raised Myers lettering, with an oversized iron ring and layers of old red paint completing the form. Weathered wood, aged iron, and worn color give the pulley a strong sculptural presence and rich visual texture.

CONDITION

In good condition with wear consistent with age and use. The wood has cracking and areas of loss, while the cast iron shows oxidation, worn paint, and surface wear throughout.
