Hello from Hazard! 

Item No. 1222

We had several guesses come in on Item No. 1222 that we revealed last week — rope maker, used for restringing line on fishing reels, apple peeler and a sharpener for sickle bar mowers.
Richard Bader, Middletown, New York, agrees it is used in rope making. He said it twists the strands into a rope by turning the handle.
Bob Diest, of Beverly, Ohio, submitted the item.

  1. This is a saw used to cut the stacked loose hay in hay mows, making it easier to remove. I know a guy who used one in his tie stall barn to cut round bales up to distribute to his cows when he still milked.
