Your pics are not bad but they are not perfectly focused. Could it say Wm.TROWBRIDGE N.O.?


William Trowbridge New Orleans? What city was this found?

William Trowbridge New Orleans? What city was this found?

This is from the 1886-1887 New Orleans Directory - might be the guy:

Great research Bramblefind. I think it may be the inside of a faucet valve or spigot shut off..

Looks more like a worm-gear tensioner ("Machine Head")- guitar as already stated or perhaps drum head.

I think Bramble nailed it.

Im not positive on the ID but it does seem to be a good possibility. I could not find a connection between Trowbridge and guitars/drums other that the city in England and a modern band member with the same name.
