Title: Some kind of key! Post by: herbie on September 02, 2011, 03:20:32 PM Hello All
Mrs Herbie found this interesting artefact a few days ago and we aren't really any nearer getting a positive ID on it, even UKDFD are unsure. Obviously some kind of key, maybe for tuning an instrument or adjusting something, PAS have a couple of similar examples and have ID'd them as 17th century clock winders, however I have spoken to several horologists all of whom say no it isn't, it's not the right shape, so was wondering if anyone had seen anything like it? :) 68mm x 30mm. Weight 17.5g. Appears to be copper alloy with a black finish. Complete Title: Re: Some kind of key!
