Can you identify this car part?

Looks a little small for this crank shaft...lol

That's funny. Still, I'm leaning to a marine engine. Just because the photo doesn't show an obvious point to attach a cap doesn't mean it isn't there. I could just be the angle of the photo. I don't think this is part of a pump jack, but I'll go look in the morning. I have 3 practically sitting in my back yard. And no, I don't draw any royalties from any of them. But that's still a pretty good suggestion, and I'll check it out.

That is a marine engine crank shaft. Cargo container ship.

Great Lakes ship would be a bit smaller and more inline with my guess.

These other guesses are really good too.

I wanna know

I did not have time to stop by the restaurant today but I am pretty sure it is wood. If I am correct, does that seem strange to anybody?

If it is wood it's a prop.

But I do like this name the part game. Maybe we should start two more of these

Name that Car Part

Name the Computer Part

If it is wood, either that picture is real bad or they did real well because it looks like cast.

I did find it on Google Street view but that picture is no better.

I stopped by on my way home and took some more pictures. If I remember correctly, the overall height was 54.5 inches. Yes, it is wood.

What kind of prop do you mean?
