Re: This was found in a friend's chicken coop; any ideas?
I can imagine it to be like a Campers/Hunters piece of kit; it must have held two and possibly three different 'things' which all meant something to each other
Tinderbox and other suggestions here all seem to have some merit.
I would really like to see a pic of this wassit? in someone's hand, to get some perspective
please 
Mike

I believe that this was attatched to a dial that went from 1-15 and thermostatically controlled the film advance that caught the egg laying sequence as it started to boil

Looks like an old "cheap" cigar cutter to me as already mentioned. I've found one just like it.

rusty, (I feel I know you well )
Is it possible to provide a different pic or diagram of what you say it is, please
If it is a cigar cutter, what are the two end compartments for?
Cheers, Mike

Re: This was found in a friend's chicken coop; any ideas?
This thing is hand soldered copper and most likely very old. The best idea I have heard so far is a fire starter kit.
The opening is awful big for cutting cigars and we dont even know if it is sharp.

When I was in the Corps, the Catholic chaplin had a very simular device for anoiting casulaties for their last rites. The ends held some oily substance and what looked like cotton balls.

This unidentified treasure, in my opinion, has been too long off the radar. I know we have a lot of new knowledgeable people here since this was last 'posted', so here it is again.
