Medaler Posted 18 July , 2015 Share Posted 18 July , 2015 Now that is just plain 'neat', what are the dimensions? khaki Well, I am not going to claim that it has quite the same cache as the bell from Dreadnaught, but I have never seen another. Stand by now for a deluge of gear wheel owners. It is about 2 5/8" high, and the gear wheel is 5" in diameter. As to what it was for, I must admit that I have no idea. The auction catalogue described it as a cigarette holder, but I am not convinced about that. I quite like the way the bottom is turned, it reminds me of the base of a shell case, even down to the plaque looking a bit like a det, especially as my eyesight is not what it was. Every so often it gets a bit of beeswax and I get a bit of time to think about "Splendid Cats" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khaki Posted 13 September , 2015 Share Posted 13 September , 2015 Here is a couple of barrels that I recently purchased HMS Iron Duke and RMS Mauretania, although I see that ARABIS mentions that he has one I thought I would post a photo anyway, khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
