Dates back to about 1909.... Which means Granny and YHDG probably used one.

It is a portable lift to pour or dump something in a factory.

 

[mbalbritton]

It's an early Fork Lift, or as it was called then, a Tiering Machine circa 1909

On the Main Gear spokes, under an inch of dirt I found "Economy Engineering, Chicago, US. When I googled that, I found and Ebay auction for an advertisement.

the Electric lift in the background of the first photo will probably die before this antique stops working.

That is a good one Brant, but I have a question. Am I looking at it wrong or is it two speed? Looks like you can move the crank handle to the other shaft for a slower speed.
