cgksheff Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Here is a larger image of wodger's wotsit: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y28/cgksheff/Sheffield%20Forum/brass12inch.jpg First thought was ashtray, but I am now thinking along the lines of some kitchen implement like a lemon squeezer.

123456A Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 An ashtray would have indents to hold the cigarettes. I think it's a doughnut hole maker. Or, indeed, a wodger's wotsit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunfl Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Try sticking a bog roll on top and see how it looks, failing that it could be a test piece for a machinist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 .........I also thought it could be a candle holder. The kind that holds the very wide candles we see on alters Is it possible that the top originally encased something more pointed? Which could make it a Prickett Candle Holder.
