One of the links on the answer page is to a modern version of number 1510, I still can't believe how much money they want for a few pieces of bent metal and a plastic base, it must be very well made.

1509 is used to move rail cars by hand. It sounds like a job for Superman, but I've seen the grainbuyers move full box cars of wheat by using one of these things. They are slow to get started but, once they get moving, can move along quite well. Stopping was done with a manual brake on the car. This was so that an empty car could be placed under the filling spout forloading

Its not the quality of the 'jamonaro tenaza' that drives up the price, its the value of the leg of parma ham its designed to hold...

That could be it, though it still sounds like a lot more than I would pay for something like that.

Heck, think of how much you pay for a teentsy weeny car key...
