The way i see it,...this might just be the last A.R.M..thingy ma bob..on the planet,...and no amount of searching is going to find, it,...we are 99% sure that it is part of a spoked wheel,...I think we can agree on that,....as for that elusive 1%..well, that,s for the original poster,,to chew on....but from where i,m sitting,its been found,...its a wooden spoked wheel hub ....of unknown origin.but if the original poster can,t accept that......then...wh at was the point of us finding..all those similar looking HUBS....

Wasn't diminishing the help you guys have given. I really appreciate it!
Going into this, in my first post I was almost certain that it was from a wooden spoked wheel, I was just more interested if anyone knew what kind of machine/vehicle this was on (as it could be a plethora of different things).

But I guess this is just one of those mysterious pieces!

Well in that case i,ll remove yer name from my dartboard...

I remembered this topic after running across a page showing a piece of equipment with a similar style wheel hub. (At times, it seems we could utilize that "equipment" here. )
