I have 2 block and tackles with large metal hooks on the end. They are roped and on the wood part "4" ROLLED BUSHED" is marked in black letters. Anybody know anything about these??

Do a search on eBay quite a few for sale. I usually sell them at the local flea market around $20.00 to $30.00 range unless they are unusual or very big.

Thanks Toni - great site and tells me all I need to know. I did look thru Ebay listings to see what they have but was looking for the name on the side.
I have 2 of them and they are old and from off a ship. They were stuffed in a corner of the garage for years and just dug them out. One is a double and the other a triple.

Wow, very informative Toolhound. Looks like I have a "double luff". It has the line on it and the hooks are "multiple sheave block with a fixed hook". The hooks are about 4-1/2 and 4-3/4" long and heavy iron.
