Artifact 2-6-S-45


Artifact 2-6-S-45 IDENTIFIED
Material: Non-magnetic silver-colored metal beneath rust-colored exterior. The exterior edge has small grooves and there are letters (worn and, so far, illegible) on the upper surface which may include patent information. There is a separate internal channel around the interior surface. Weight: approx. .2 oz. Condition: Good. Bent and broken. Speculation: This appears to be a knurled adjustment knob. There may have been a separate, smaller concentric knob that turned a disk that rotated within the internal channel. This suggests a knob for making coarse and fine adjustments to some kind of small instrument or machine. If we can decipher the letters on the exterior surface we might be able to make a positive identification.
