Aluminuim prop withdrawer ('buller') consisting of handle (1) and rack (2). Used in coal mines for pulling out roof supports and other tasks.
This is made of aluminium for lightness, although it was later banned (because of its tendency to induce sparking) after the Horden Colliery explosion in 1953.
