Looking at #3 again,I think you nailed it with umbrella piece ! #1,I am wondering what kind of lock it might have broke off of.the rest I am still not sure.Thanks for your help Hawkeye!#1 Part of some kind of lock?
#2 ?
#3 Part of an umbrella? Or something that slides and locks.
#4 Kind of looks like a rivet.
#5 Some kind of specialty bolt? Maybe made to be tightened by hand.
Best I can do.
Thanks Taz,that is pretty neat.I am glad you are here,4 years is a long time to wait.I don't want to try to open it,with my luck I will end up killing it.Where do you see the patent on yours?It took me four years to get an ID on the one I found.
It is a pre war German folding stamp.The short piece had the rubber stamp affixed inside and the long one was the ink pad for automatic ink application.
