Mystery Object (locked version of Original)

Roders - bang on, but I'd just about worked that out. :D :D :D

Pal. - Thanks,

 

Love it, Dave .. you put something up and then make the first guess at it! :D

Did you look at my modern-day version of your antique pen/pencil?

 

Yes ...and I'm fairly sure that I had one too years ago and ended up binning it when the biro ink ran out.

 

Pure guess Marley.

This came from Sudley Castle Winchcombe in Glos.I found it in situ but not in use.I was carrying out work as a welder,not glazing

 

Sort of quadrant for transferring horizontal movement to vertical (or vice versa) so used for.................. remote bellpush to servants quarters?

 

In one DAG!!!
The darn thing was still in the wall when I was installing a new wire and it was "loaded",so to speak,and when I exposed it the wire whipped out and cut me across the face....It was lucky to still be intact after I gave it a dressing down with a lump hammer ......... :D
If you visit the Castle(house really) you will see the new wrought iron pull handle and cable to the right of the main door.

 

Ahhhh! Should have had your visor down then? :D :D

 

Bellows?

 

Filter of some kind?

Is it magnified much?

 

Some kind decoration in a wall?

 

Something for insects to overwinter in?
