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!

The object in question appears to be a thermostat selector for a refrigerator.( I know; in Alaska?) Just a
thought! The older models had an infinite number of temperature selections when compared to newer models.

Maybe we need to search propane refrigerators. Nobody has been able to come up with a way it could attach to a control, unless it connects to another gear.

Due to the Fact this Item is no longer in the Possession of
the Finder.

And appears to have been solved over & Over.

It has been moved here for those who still want
to play around.

Thank you so much. This thing has been driving me nuts. Could you please post where you found the proof?
Just so I can verify your answer.
I had an idea that it was for something like that. Because it looks like it would fit onto a cage with 2 inch wire spacing.
Although all the rabbit cages that I grew up with were made with chicken wire and it definitely would not fit on chicken wire because I already tried.

Sincerely,
Buddy~

please look at rabbit (doe) breeding gestion times === once bred by day 14 she should show signs of being preg -- by day 16 --she should start packing up nesting box material -- its a 15 day counter from mounting on a heavy duty type 2 inch type heavy duty wire spaced cage --- if showing no signs of being preg by day 15 / 16 --- you rebreed her.

bunnies are cheap meat .
