very nice and ornate. I'm sure someone would appreciate it. But I would pass for $1,200.00

Its a lot smaller than it looks. At first glance I thought it was big.

QuoteWHITE OAK BASE MEASURES 5 15/16 LONG X 3 15/16 WIDE X 1 3/4 THICK

CAST IRON HOUSING MEASURES 3 1/4 X 2 7/8 X 3 3/16 HIGH

OVERALL HEIGHT APPROXIMATELY 5"

I thought it was big too until I saw the dimensions.  If it's a pot puller must be small pots.  Still pretty cool but $1200 cool? 
Do what you can with that you have where you are

ditto...  thought cheap S&H was a mistake, 'til I scrolled down...  intentionally misleading -- note how he hides the actual unit of measure, except once at the end...  for $1200, I was expecting feet -- not, inches

The work that went to that piece is worth the price, Imagine If you were to make that same item.

One of my customers gave me a piece that was shaped by using just hammer and chisel, no welding.
I later gave it as a gift to someone and should have kept it.
That is a nice piece , but it is cast iron. I think it is way overpriced, but that's just my opinion.
I guess if someone really needs to have it, money doesn't really matter.

  I did a little looking around the patent records and found out it`s a ice/float reel .
  Here is the patent page with a description and drawing .
