Mystery Object (locked version of Original)

Focus adjuster?

 

Cooler man! :D

A bit more objectivity required

 

Surely not the "click" "say cheese" button?

Or even the wind the film on button?

 

Is it a coin holder

Kandy

 

or a match holder

 

Part of a telescope or microscope?

 

There are clues I've given but here's another -

John Brown had a big one, but I don't know if Queen Victoria was amused by it. :D :D

 

Well Done Dag.
You beat the last clue by a minute!
Victorian pocket telescope.

Can't show the full photo right now as Photobucket is down for maintenance.

 

I want to see just how big it is Dave :D ..In the mean time..What do you think this is made from and it's use?

 

looks like a shell maybe a pill box

 

Here it is - The telescope

 

Abalone or oyster shell?Powder compact?

 

Dave, I think t'other half has a Victorian pocket telescope given as a pressie ... but so many of these things are at the IoW to return with us in October!

Pal, I don't think it's one of these hair clasps I use becaue the hinge is a wee bit obtrusive, but how about a pocket compact or cigarette case?

 

Mother of pearl....compact

 

Snuff box?
