    Hi there

    Does anyone know what this might be, it's about thumb size and made of light wood/cork. What year might it be and what would it be used for with the hole underneath?

    Thanks

    Light wood, I'd think. Certainly doesn't look like cork.

    Yeah, light wood (feels like a cork in hand) do you know what year/purpose it is? Thanks

    Not a clue but as he's wearing a keffiyeh, I'd look toward the Middle East. Perhaps meant to be Lawrence of Arabia.
