✅ 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!

The snippet says: In Riverside county, California, a cage operator maintains a 70 percent average lay a year around with a flock turnover of around 100 percent. The only information that he has on his birds is the production for a two-(week)

Its everything we thought it was.


Id like to see the back. It looks as if the back tab is bent up. Can someone buy the book? How much is it?

WOW! I am impressed not only with the convincing answer, but all the hard work so many of you put into this. I gave up trying a long time ago, glad nobody else did. GOOD JOB ALL!

Bramblefind ~

Here's a 1939 issue of "Poultry Tribune."

I'm sure with the multitude of your research talents you can find the year for your ad.

Congratulations, again ...



Bob

P.S. I also found this ...

Poultry Tribune Magazine

Poultry Tribune is a USA magazine covering Agriculture.

As of 2008, Poultry Tribune is no longer published. It was edited for the professional broiler grower with a farm capacity in excess of 100,000 birds per flock.

This magazine is owned by Watt Publishing Company.

Hey, is that Bramblefind on the cover of this 1944 issue ... ?

(Nah ... I bet she's smarter and better looking than that!)

Also, it appears as if we are not the only ones interested in this magazine ...

Check this out!

hard to believe but hey grats on the proof, I tried but couldn't get the same snippet from that volume.
Looks like Jensen mfg didn't have much success from what I could dig up. Anyway I blame myself for
ending the most successful thread since Beekrock

Man I wish we could see the "whole" add for this Jensen "flick of the finger" Egg Counter.

Anyways, looking back on this whole thread.

MiddenMonster was the first to guess "counter of some sort" in post #1.

montepollock was the first to suggest "a counter mounted on a cage to keep track of something" in post #26 and #83.

Then there was a whole bunch of guessing and bickering of what it was until Bramblefind shows proof of what this really is.

Well done.

Its a shame that opposing points of view often turn to bickering from those who do not or cannot show any evidence.

Looking back, the turning point for me was when Bob urged me to clip the item to a cage type fence. Even though this was said before I didnt have the item in hand. I posted the pics and it fit too perfectly. It made me realize that we need to take a second look at cage/fence related animal related counters..

In Honour of ryan's magnanimous gesture, I vouch to send a bottle of excellent NZ wine, to the person who solves the puzzle with a picture and explanation.
An interesting suggestion from one colleague today - a bullet (cartridge) counter - I googled it and all it's various connotations - nothing close at all. But I think the suggestion still has merit.
Call me an idiot but doesn't the counter count to 14 not 15? There are only 14 countersunk areas (available to whatever moves it) on the sprocket. If it was to do with bullets, could you have 14 in the mag and one up the spout?
Otherwise, 14 pounds = 1 stone, 14 days = two weeks
I love this site,
Cheers, Mike

Hey Mike, I think you owe Bramblefind a bottle of wine. I can't remember if there are any other prizes offered for solving this one.

 

[Bramblefind]

Now, can you please solve this one. http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,91892.0.html

I cannot believe you did that to me!

My husband thinks I am totally insane. But when I found that it was just like believing in Santa on Christmas Morning

Thanks so much everyone. I'm so glad I was able to be a part of this.

It have really enjoyed my time here and it has been an honor to "detect" with you all.

~ P.S. ~

I'm searching for a 1956 issue of "Poultry Tribune" to purchase.

If someone finds a source/link for one, please post it, or use a "PM."

If nothing turns up soon, I may purchase a couple of them from my last post.

Or possibly from e-Bay where I also found a few more.

(I just requested a couple of e-Bay sellers to check the ads for me)

(I'll keep my fingers crossed it/they have one of Bramblefind's ads.)

Thanks ...

Bob
