Dale Posts: 2132 Registered: Nov 2002	posted 11-06-2003 01:58 PM I suspect that this originally held a razor strop, used for sharpening blades. It also appears to have been replated, in a tank that was not quite warm enough. IP: Logged

Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 11-06-2003 03:51 PM It is a satin finish and Dale may be correct, the plating tank may not have been quite warm enough. I'll put up the answer tomorrow or later tonight if there are a lot of guesses in the next few hours. IP: Logged
Scott Martin Forum Master Posts: 11520 Registered: Apr 93	posted 11-06-2003 09:27 PM I like wrong answers. Fred, your A Double fisted rattle seems like a very plausible answer but Dale is correct. It is a spring loaded retractable razor strop. IP: Logged
FredZ Posts: 1070 Registered: Jun 99	posted 11-07-2003 08:59 AM I truly appreciate these Whatsit posts and am surprised more people do not respond with guesses. Thanks for the effort you and June put to keep the forum active. Fred IP: Logged
