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.
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.
