Some how life got busy and I missed or forgot this thread.

that was used to set tappits as I recall.

Funny, my hubby mentioned something the other day about one tool that he still doesn't know what its for, and we mentioned this thread. That thing may be it. (He didn't show me the tool when we got home, but I'll try to post it soon).

I didn't know what a tappet was either, but after DuckDuckGo'ing it, I still don't understand if that's what the tool is for. But thanks anyway!

What is it?

Does this thing have anything to do with milking cows?

Y'all are killing me. I always look for those when I'm at antique shops. I want one so bad.

It's a bull blinder.

used how? for what?

Used to put them on bulls when they needed to move them around. Some had half shields just over the top, that would be worn all the time. That way they could see to graze but not see up or to their sides.

In a round about way.
