The best way to tell what it's for is to measure it.

Important dimensions are L (and/or AC), R, H, the dropout spacing, and the diameter and length of the steerer tube.

The fork in the picture with the mouse trap spring was built by Murray. It was used by Murray and its clones like Sears for years. Roger

Yeah, I am pretty sure my bike above is a JC Higgins Flightliner built by Murray that someone robbed or sold the most expensive parts on it ( tank, chain guard & tail light).
