BIG COPPER... NOT WHAT YOU THINK * WHAT IS IT?

[masterjedi]

Found this with my AT PRO with my NEL Attack coil. It is very heavy and have no idea what it is?

It looks like a Horse Blinker/Blinder.

It may be Brass? It is way too heavy for a horse blinder though...thx for the responses...

It to me looks like some kind of shaft bushing for some unknown kind of machinery. I'm looking at the wear marks on the inside curve of it. Seems it sat on something spinning?

Not what we think? Looks like a cobbler's tool to me! Happy hunting and I am sure that hurt your eardrums...Sub

Hello masterjedi. Your piece is of great interest to me. I found two others like it some time ago, see previous post.

Thanks for the post and I hope someone has a definitive ID. BTW I agree with JOHUNT, my pieces are brass or maybe bronze.

Did you find it near an old railway?

 

[masterjedi]

No.. at an old farm house...

It looks like a surveyors mark from an old railway. Although it's just my guess. We have (kinda) similar ones up here from the 19th century, used by the C&NW railroad

Just a thought, but is the pin 1/2 in diameter?

 

[masterjedi]

No.... maybe 1/4"

 

[PYRATE]

Is it stamped 1/2 or 1 1/2 on the top? (or something else?)

Do any of the numbers seem to match to any dimensions or its weight?

 

[masterjedi]

its stamped 1 1/2 ... I cant see that it matches anything ? sorry...

 

[DigIron2]

pretty interesting thow.

 

[masterjedi]

Yes... thanks everyone... I sure hope someone knows what it really is?
