David In Indy:
What do you think it is? :D





Releasing the lock mechanism and turning the dial loosens the rope and allows the two pieces of wood to separate approximately six to eight inches. This item was patented in 1877 and it is 12 inches long.


The winner or winners will receive a lamb from Ennis and Jack straight off Brokeback Mountain! ;) :D



I will post the answer and announce the winners later this week or early next week.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term transom may refer to:

Transom (architectural), the horizontal lintel or beam across a window, dividing it into stages or heights. In the U.S. it also can refer to a fixed window over a door or another window

Transom (nautical), in naval architecture, is the surface that forms the stern of a vessel



And now I learned something, b/c I never knew there was a nautical definition, too.   :)
