To orderly to be a sculpture so I guess for making rope. Does it have hooks on the back of each gear?

Best example of a nine spindle, mobile doozy-fluxit I've ever encountered!

Close, Bob. It is actually the device the gremlins use to tangle and knot any cord, cable, rope, wire or anything else you have coiled up and placed neatly on the shelf as soon as your back is turned.

Kewl, a Segway from 1820.....

I'm thinking it's for braiding cables...

Or berhaps you attach 9 bubber bands and wind yourself up like a toy airplane..

OK, I guess everybody is done guessing, so Cowman is close to right.

This tool allowed a pair of men to make what we call slat snowfence today.

One man operated the crank and maintained tension with the handle while the second placed slats between iron wires.  The machine twisted the wires between slats.
