New, what is it? What is this tool?
This thing was in the basement of a house that I bought 20 years ago. It's about 6' long, has a wooden handle, and four what seem to be cast iron hooks. the outer and inner hooks are at different angles, like it would be for carrying two circular things of different diameter. Maybe some sort of farm implement?

That’s probably used in some type of textile that use string or fabric for dying clothing or possibly yarn wool along those lines

Maybe something from a horse drawn wagon or farm implement. Just a guess

Looks a lot like old tent pole. Probably not but they are similar looking

Looks like one of those bars that people put in their pickup trucks bed to turn them into work trucks by allowing them to hang multiple different things across the hooks or wrapped around the wooden bar like electrical cords etc.
