The Oldest Chain Block I Have Ever Seen

During my recent visit to the Tin Dredger in Batu Gajah, Perak, there is the oldest Chain Block I have ever seen. Most probably from the early 1900's.

I presume it is not functioning anymore, but who knows?

By the way, for those of you who do not know, Chain Block is a hoist equipment to lift heavy stuff.
