Looks like the end casting of an old horse pulled roller to me.
Rest of the frame is made of wood.

The power of the internet, you virtually certainly have your answer here.
Could you post the name on the end , difficult to read off the picture

Hi kmo
Thanks, yes it very much looks like it could be that for sure
thankyou, I wonder what others think, this seems logical to me though

I still use a potato ridge roller with similar castings although it has been modified to fit on a 3pt lift.

Im pretty sure thats what they are upon research and all your helpful answers
I will post the name on them a bit later

Hi Exfarmer
The name on them is Tasker & Sons
An old company in Andover
Great to find out what they actually are thanks all !

 

[Exfarmer]

Tasker was a very good old name in farming, sadly i do not think there. Is anything left of them.
