heavy metal ob'ject

hi folks

bob let me have this for a fiver (hasn't a clue what it is either)

thought it was an interesting enough an object for that

get the impression more tool than weapon (far tooheavy)

thought maybe fishing priest but still too heavy for that

don't think designed/made for impact

theres brown tones in it, so unsure of metal

any thoughts or info appreciated

 

gotta be made for holding though i guess

 

surely the slot at the end has to be functional no ?

 

Looks similar to a belaying pin, but not quite.

 

sure looks like a truncheon ...

 

but close.......... eh ?

 

velly interesting will look into that

 

i'm just picturing the ship if right

 

where do you find this sort o thing...........

 

Perhaps a railroad car coupling pin -

another brilliant suggestion, i really like the handle and end fitting for something like that

 

Coupling pins like that were good for spontaneous amputations. It does look like a piece of something else and coupler pin would fit.

 

wouldn't let me copy the info but SURPRISINGLY quite a dangerous job

 

Not surprisingly, but they had to improve the technology so they could get workers who'd risk taking the job.

 

(charlie is away trying to find a bl**dy magnet, but can he find one, can he funk)

 

He can bang a gong, get it on! Wouldn't use this beast on a drum, but it would ))wham(( on a bronze bell nicely. (provided you really hated the bell)

 

I keep a piece of an old toy in my purse. That way I can check some metal in the field. I don't see you guys carrying a purse though. Fanny pack maybe, or cargo pants with bits in the pockets.

 

tried that

new fridge no maggies
