Wooden double sheave block, 13 1/4 inches x 9 1/2 inches x 7 inches, consisting of three parallel pieces of wood, 1 1/4 inches wide and separated
1 1/2 inches from each other. In the separations are placed the sheaves (or pulleys). One of the sheaves is missing. The top of the block has two heavy metal bands inserted into it. One is designed to hold the parts of the block together. The other is an eye that is set inside the first band and is used to hold a heavy metal hook. The hook is present. A heavy metal rod running through the middle of the block holds the sheaves in place and allows them to turn.
