    Or something else?
    Taken in an "outback" museum in rural South Australia.
    Can you guess what they are and what they were used for?

    The exposed thread on the first certainly suggests a jack.

    I agree - screw bottle jacks (pre - hydraulic).

    Yep, well they were described as "Cart Jacks".
    Presumably for jacking the likes of this cart:

    Well considering I've seen the Terracotta Warriors in person, I don't. Are you thinking about the other Chinese Warriors, the wee little ones? It doesn't look like those either.
