Nice found Doug, that Billy is a bit of an elaborate counterfeit I've never seen one that old laminated like that.
Ahh! you maybe able to answer this one, what is the item top right? I've found loads of them down the years of differing sizes but never quite worked out what they are.

Thanks everybody.

The piece you are referring to Geoff I have found others in the past, see another photograph, they have an iron rod going through them and I have assumed rightly or wrongly they may be part of a fireside/hearth set. (brush, shovel,poker)

The other photograph shows the ornate top of one with the thread intact, ship.

Geoff I found one of them a while back, about the same length but a little thinner, it thread inside, my thoughts was a brass fitting off the sprayer?

You could be right, the other thing that crossed my mind was a counter weight on a piece of farm machinery?

I think you got it spot on Doug.  I knew I'd seen one like that somewhere and as soon as you said 'fire side set' it came back to me.  My Nan had a companion set with tops just like it.

And you got a buckle in there identical, and complete, to the one I found in my field yesterday. Great.

                            I remember those, I think my aunt had one. Some were brass and I think some were chrome ( or were they chrome with brass hangers like Doug's? ) and they consisted of a little shovel, a poker, a brush, and a pair of tongs. All four items hung on a stand and stood beside her modern fire place. Those were the days when you could burn what you liked on your fire, no hot running water, and the dunny was down the yard! Gawd, you woke up in winter and there was ice on the "inside" of the windows.  Smiley

I think I would have gone along with companion set handle but after finding so many and in different sizes I think it has to be agricultural, what is the "brass fitting" for Dale?
