✅ SOLVED Test your skills on this one! Spent years trying to ID this.

[musclecar]

I found this in Alaska about 10 years ago, and have never been able to ID it. It is an aluminum piece, about 3 inches square. It has 15 teeth and is numbered 1-15. There is a stop preventing it from spinning freely. The back has two tabs that may have been used to mount it. ANY GUESSES?

Thanks,

MC

PS The quarter used for size was found yesterday! 1935S Yeah!

I would just throw this piece of aluminum in my junk box. It definately does not have enough value in it for me to stress over as I see everyone on here doing. If it were an ancient coin that only one has been found, different story. Just throw the thing away, end the thread, and let all these folks continue on with their normal lives. Just my two cents, thx for letting me rant. HH!

LOL You had to bump it back up again. Some of us refuse to give up. It has nothing to do with value. This is an IDable item.

 

[ivan salis]

ah its the thrill of the id hunt not the actual value of the "animal" being hunted -- but this "animal" is rather valuible for a 100% provible id -- it is my understanding that some folks driven half mad by this item have offered nice prizeswhich are attached to IDing it ---- for anyone who can produce a 100% iron clad ID of said beast.--so IDing it is indeed worthwhile $$$ wize--and you would get "instant fame" as added bonus -- Ivan

ps I see the solved green checkmark --who did they "offically" say slayed the beast?
and if its really 100% dead --- onward to kill its evil brother --- the pigg nuts!!!

Jeff please remove the green arrow ... it wont work. You cant stop this thread. It has a life of its own.

yep keep the pigg nuts far away from the counter thingy (they might cross breed)-- hey maybe its a pigg nut counter ? when 15 pigg nuts are found the world ends Ivan

Hmmm. ... there are 15 gonji stones to a set.

 

[ivan salis]

I think possible solve found to pigg man nuts !! no BS for real -- seems they might be a form of rubic cube type game but with differant ball themed sides -- world cup --basket ball ect you worked it to aline them --they didn';t catch on however --the nuts are from a busted game -- they are --- three d logic puzzle pieces.

at patent doc -- maxime paquete -"three demisional logic puzzle" sort of a rubic cube but using a ball (basket ball ,soccer ect ) theme with the nuts fitting into a frame work and being slid about to form the faces of the ball (think soccer ball)-- the nuts are the game parts --the frame got busted --the nuts got loose -- seems unlike the rubic cube this "knock off" never caught on big time .

[wildrider]

I was thinking a temperature adjuster or something for an old refridgerator or ice box. Remember how they use to be pretty much aluminum on the inside?

No they won't cross breed. They are like matter and antimatter and the end of the universe will come if you put them together.

The photo of the 120 film does not show sprocket holes on one end. It shows black squares on the paper backing of the film. I trashed a roll of 120 film to show you.
Here's a roll of Ilford 120 film

Here's the paper side with the numbers I said would show through the red window in the older cameras. different #'s spaced differently for different format 120 cameras.

Here's the film side, notice no sprocket holes. ( magnetic money clip used because film curl wouldn't allow it to lay flat. Notice money clip is empty. Donations accepted) : )

Maybe it goes to a Panoramic Camera

Maybe we can get the green check replaced with a white flag.

This camera is from 1915. No counter. I will check some of my others.
I also thought this was a camera part from one of my post about a year or two ago.

Ok, it is time to make a decision. I am the owner of this vile object. First of all, I appologize for not logging on to Treasurenet for some time, and answering any questions. My hunting partner (Dad) had a stroke last December, and I have not been into much of anything since then. 1 year of no detecting.
I am considering putting this thing on Ebay, and linking Treasurenet and Boingboing giving both sites publicity. I would like to see what happens, and get rid of this "thing".
Give me feedback please. Thank you all, you are a great group of people.

Would that be ok with all? I am not in it for the money, just would like to see what happens, and get rid of this "thing".

It's yours.

Maybe this has been said before but could it be the thingy that counts the balls in a coin pool table (billiard).

I do like the camera theory but then that means that the camera it self was limited to 15 pics? See I'm not as old as some of you guys and all I remember from film cameras is that the roll determined the amount of pics 24 or 36

All the best,

Chagy........
