Bought this at a junk shop in Arkansas 5 years ago with the intent of using it to hang a pool table light.  My wife declared it too rustic   ;D

So it is heading to Craigslist / garage sale soon.  What the heck is it? 

I'm noticing that all wood antique yokes are selling for upwards of $150.  Holy cow.  I was going to see if I could get $40 for it initially.  I think I will start fishing a little higher than that.  This sort of stuff seems to be in demand here.

Frank that is a "double single tree" used with two horses instead of one horse. It consisted of 2- single trees and 1- evener.

I knew it was two singletrees John....but I never heard of an evener ???

That stuff used to be in every flea market and the Mennonites would scoop it up for a few dollars.
These here is God's finest scupturings! And there ain't no laws for the brave ones! And there ain't no asylums for the crazy ones! And there ain't no churches, except for this right here!

Around here it's a double tree.

Start high you can always drop down.  Here they are not a big seller.  Hames and collars if in good shape $$$

Yeah Peter I guess it does what the name inplies.  Keeps the animal spaced out even from the center.
