Title: Mystery Object Post by: 150aceboy on December 31, 2009, 10:04:05 PM Hi all, i found this last sunday, showed it to Ian(gadget), who thought the same as myself, a furniture fitting.
But after a bit of cleaning i'm not so sure now. It's heavy about 4 oz, but its not lead, haven't a clue what metal it is ??? the coin for comparison is a modern 5p Any suggestions welcome Ace ;) Title: Re: Mystery Object Post by: handyman [Alan} on December 31, 2009, 10:05:58 PM is it hollow on the reverse? or a plain back?
Title: Re: Mystery Object Post by: Sexy Legs (Leighton) on December 31, 2009, 10:07:56 PM Looks to me like the foot of a small table leg perhaps. Is the right end (in the picture) flat or hollowed out?
Title: Re: Mystery Object Post by: 150aceboy on December 31, 2009, 10:10:39 PM Its completely round Alan and not hollowed out, its a solid piece, not unlike a Shamrock shape......
Leighton the top is flat and not hollow mate.......... Title: Re: Mystery Object Post by: handyman [Alan} on December 31, 2009, 10:13:02 PM could it be a small cauldron leg?
Title: Re: Mystery Object Post by: 150aceboy on December 31, 2009, 10:21:07 PM Sounds good Alan, could well be fella
Title: Re: Mystery Object Post by: Tinman (paul/Lisa) on December 31, 2009, 10:31:48 PM Looking at the flat bit could it be a pipe tamper?
Title: Re: Mystery Object Post by: 150aceboy on January 01, 2010, 07:03:29 PM Have'nt thought of that paul/lisa, could well be one too.., its a bit of an unusal item, puzzled me ??? ???
