    found this in my late friend`s shop. It does not come apart, there are no markings on it, there is something inside-don`t know what, you have to work a little to get it back down after you pull the top up and two friends and I all think it looks familiar but can`t figure it out! I know someone on here will know what it is!! Thanks for lookin!! Rob

      If the top detaches, maybe a kind of press

      Could it be some kind of Hydraulic Industrial Shock Absorber or Damper?

      Thanks everybody for the love its!!
      Thanks Vynil, it`s very confusing!

      Jenni, it does not come apart but when it is pulled up if you work it just right without any pressure it will go down. Thanks!!


      mp.kunst . you might be on to something, but there is no upward pressure when its up it stays up and like I told Jenni you can work it down without any pressure--maybe it is what you said it is but it is just broken! Thanks!!!

      There could indeed be a leak in the hydraulics, as you yourself already suggested.
