    I have no clue what this is.
    A long, square wooden hollow box with a metal-tipped wooden rod set into one end. It appears to have square nails, is 29"L x 2" x 2.5" and inscribed as follows:
    FLT. D A M
    E
    2094
    The rod is off center. Also hollow. And my Son picked it up and blew into it [without touching it to his mouth!] and it made sound. He thinks it's a whistle. Really? P9130066 (480x640).jpg P9130067 (480x640).jpg P9130069 (640x480).jpg P9130090 (480x640).jpg P9130092 (640x480).jpg

    Help :) >
    Note that your comments are split up by the photos.
    You made some change after "son" and then hit the full image button.
    ~
    If you want to fix it go to EDIT and copy the lines below the photos.
    Then 'cut' or 'backspace' them.
    Then paste them immediately after "son" with a space. :)

    Hi,
    I agree that it is from a pipe organ. When I was working on the Brooklyn church the pipe organ was being repaired. The pipes measured from 37 feet down to 3".
