I see that the cylinder is still loaded with some rounds. You don't give the caliber size but believe it's a .22 blank starting gun. These were sometimes used to train hunting dogs.
they are just blank rounds and don't fire a projectile. Nice find.

Definitely not a cylinder from a revolver, or at least not a real one. A real cylinder is a solid peice with the chambers bored through like the on I've pictured. Possibly part of a toy gun, but I'm not sure.

I frequently say y'all in my posts. So often that I'm surprised you haven't noticed. I even did it twice in one of my posts earlier today. Also, check my Avatar, and location.

My personal favorite from the forum, though, is North Carolina gal Breezie's signature, "Southern smiles." Makes this old-style Southern Gentleman's heart hum Dixie.

Never heard of Yinz! learn something new everyday. I say "Fixin' to" obsessively. Oh and of course "over yonder"!!! Funny, I'm constantly on my kids about using proper English so I'm trying to tame my southern accent. So darn hard at times!

The item I believe, is something other than a gun cylinder. At first glance the general shape may fool the eye into this thought, yet many key features are inconsistent with what we should be seeing for a revolver cylinder. First; I have never seen a brass gun cylinder ever, as brass is much too soft of a metal to contain the pressure of gunpowder charge. Second; all the gun cylinders I have ever seen examples of (including the starter guns/blanks guns shown), have cylinders that are fully flush on both ends, and not with any type of recessed channel (what purpose would a channel have in a gun cylinder, further reducing the strength and function of the piece). Third; a gun cylinder requires a means of advancement each time the hammer is cocked and the trigger is pulled (this would be a radius set of raised slots or teeth on one end of the cylinder, where the advance mechanism would catch and turn the cylinder). Fourth, there appears to be rusty iron or steel in at least two of the holes or chambers on this piece, suggesting that at one time these were pins or bolts (note as well, evidence of hacksaw cuts going across the face, where these iron or steel pins were cut off).

The questionable features warrants this being reevaluated, and marked "Unsloved" in the meantime. :icon_scratch:
