This is a vintage hand cranked Horse and Sheep clipper/shear, evidently designed for field use where electrical power was not available. Lettering on the piece says "Stewart Clipper #1 Ball Bearing, Horse Shearing Machine-Chicago".  When I purchased the piece I did not know what it was for, assumed it was rotten/frozen, and only intended to use the bottom stand/legs for a floor lamp project.  I got it home, got it wire brushed, and discovered the crank/gears worked perfectly, they spin a shaft that the shear cable/hose would be hooked up to. The cable/hose is missing, but since the piece actually spins/works, I don't have the heart to butcher it for my own purpose (but I would in a heart beat if it does not sell right away, I'm not that nostalgic).  My guess is this is the perfect piece for an old house or barn restore, or that the piece could actually have some industrial steampunk applications- - - repurpose time.  The other two on ebay last I looked had asking prices of $229.99 and $477.88, so I guess you'll love my price. I am listing for local pick up only since I do not have a shipping box large enough, evidently ok to drive me nuts if you need it shipped.
Used, total surface rust, BUT cranks and works properly. Missing the actual shears and drive cable.
