    Picked this up a couple of years ago for some eurocents...Absolutely no clue what this is, but I liked the shape. It is quite small, 12 cm/30.5 inches. Can anybody here help me identify this mysterious object? 2017-02-22 15.46.14.jpg 2017-02-22 15.45.48.jpg 2017-02-22 15.46.24.jpg 2017-02-22 15.46.32.jpg

    Hi,
    Look like flag standards. Wonder if they were Nazi eagles that are missing.

    or a swastika missing? Anyway nothing seems to have been broken off deliberately or should the eventual swastika and eagle head be screwed intween the two pieces with the stylized wings?

    a very literal wing-nut indeed...;)
    So, used on sailboats and such? But how long ago?
