My guess is a butter churn powered by a small animal walking on the treads.
Or it could be a device to keep small children occupied while Mommy has a quick nip.
Ding Ding Ding!
We have a winner.
Now. What animal? (tho’ I do like your plan for the kids)
Woohoo! I’ll take that margarita, thank you.
Hmmm, I would guess a farm animal like a goat or a sheep.
I still think the kids should run on it though – it would make for an easier bed time!
You’re good. Goat it was.
Though apparently, the owner had a dog that took to the thing and would run constantly.
I rather think that in the age in which this contraption was built, the kids were pressed into more useful service much earlier than today’s kids – mucking out the stables, milking the cows, dragging buckets of water, etc. Or perhaps the owner lacked children to place in front of the butter churn.
