A Trio of Antique Cast Iron Hay Trolley Pulleys including F.E. Myers and Goshen Manufacturing Co. - This collection consists of three antique cast iron hay trolley pulleys, typical of American agricultural hardware from the late 19th to early 20th century. The first pulley features a three-spoke wheel and a hook equipped with a spring-loaded safety latch. It bears the embossed marks GOSHEN IND and MT GOSHEN IND, attributing it to the Goshen Manufacturing Co. of Goshen, Indiana. The second pulley is an ornate teardrop design with a six-spoke wheel and an integrated open hook. It is embossed with the text THE F.E. MYERS & BROS. CO. and the model number H 500, produced by the F.E. Myers & Bro. Co. of Ashland, Ohio. The third pulley is a heavy-duty model with a wide U-shaped bracket frame, a square-head bolt axle, and a large swivel hook; no maker marks are visible on this piece. All items are constructed from cast iron frames and wheels with steel or wrought iron hardware.
