It's a little difficult to tell from the pic, but your description sounds like an old school traveller.

Likely a main sheet traveler.

Bman,
How much sailing have done on this boat ? If she is new to you then I'm thinking the othe rguys are correct and its a main sheet traveller, albeit a slightly odd looking one.

Yes, for end boom sheeting.
