Mystery Part

Post by Bryant » Sat Aug 05, 2023 7:56 pm

This “thing” was found after a wash out in a creek in Pennsylvania recently. A friend sent me the pictures and I figure this would be the place to try to figure out what it might have been part of.
Any guesses? It’s very bazaar looking 🧐

That needs to be soaked in a electrolysis bucket for about a week and brushed off so details can be seen.

The round part at the top dose appear to have holes in it. Maybe a burner.

Cool. Keep em coming.

Way back, a long, long time ago was a game show called "Liars club"
the contestants had to guess what a thing was. 4 celebrities explained what the thing was.
Only one was telling the truth. Most things were turn of the century products/tools.
Loved that show.
