This tool is in the condition that it was found in my Dad\'s garage. We made no attempt to clean it. The cast iron is marked as being patented on Nov. 12. 1901, with some decorative cross hatching on the front and back. The wood is scratched up, but appears original as well. Same with the wooden crank knob on the front. The gears still move freely and the 3 hooks are present. Tool is approx. 13 inches in length and 5 inches wide. This was the description of the device when Bucklin applied for the patent:This invention relates to rope-making machines; and the object of the same is to provide simple and effective means whereby rope can be quickly made by hand from lengths or strands of cord, twine, and the like, and is particularly intended for use by farmers who have lengths or strands of cord and twine left over from binding-machines or other similar devices, which are usually wasted, because dealers in such merchandise will naturally refuse to take back partially-used bales or spools of the same, and by means of the improved device such residue can be easily formed into rope for use as halters or other purposes, the improved machine being cheap, strong, and durable, as well as being capable of constructing any length of rope.
