Mystery Object, the Original

Old farming implement?....How big is it?

 

About normal size.
Not an implement.
I made it myself but it's never been used :D

 

:D Oh God! :D

Is the ball, a handle, ornamental, or fits into a mechanical socket?

 

Marge, the spray nozzle of a hose or a shower head?

Paladin ...I'm thinking ... a wall lamp fixing?

 

Sorry guys - had to take Mother in Law out
Well done Pal - it is a copper washing dolly - I use it to keep the toolshed door open

 

Hay manger?

 

:D Not you Marge, its that chap on the horse that I am waiting for! :D

 

LOL!!

 

:D I think he has gone down to his shed, had a few beers, and can't find his way back! :D

 

Weather vane?
Whilst everyone is pondering over Pal's iron
thingy [ do your skills extend to blacksmithery as well?], I have a dragon that we found in the loft of an old stables amongst horse brasses and bits of leather [I don't know if this is relevant]. It looks to be Victorian or Edwardian from the other things, and seems to be of some low grade silver or tin, heavy but not heavy enough for lead. Does anyone think it had a use? The piece of walnut was put on it for display.
Hope the pictures don't make anyone dizzy!



The base has no fixing and is fully moulded, not flattened. It's about 9cms tall and 2 wide

 

A designer hook on which to hang baskets / lamps?

 

Oh, the above was for Pal's thingy but yours could fit the bill also, Liz!

Liz, could yours be a do-dah decoration for on top of a horses head for special fetes, occasions, etc? Does anything move on it, ie, a door knocker?

 

No, LOL it has no moving parts, and no fixings or signs of wear. Did think of door knocker but can't think how it might have been pivoted. :confused:
