    dont.jpg New to the site. Have clearly not found the correct words to use to search online images so I thought I would try this. Eight inches wide with a hole in center to mount to something. There are six different shapes at the end of the six spokes. No markings. Cast iron. Imperfections in the iron suggest it may be older than I initially thought. Any input would be appreciated as I assume it is not uncommon. I just don't know what it is. Thanks

    Changeable wrench with specialty heads? Used with a handle that ran through the center?

    thanks for the input. It was enough to find other similar items, though no one appears to know what it actually is. It is either a farmer's multi-tool or a fireman's multi-tool.

    Cast iron seems a strange material to use if it really is a tool. More likely is it is a former, tampon or stamp to form a mould in sand perhaps. But that is only a guess.
