    What On Earth Is This?

    I picked this up at the flea market the other day, mainly because I thought it looked interesting. I was leaning towards a possible antique hand grenade shell of sorts but I was unable to find anything in the land of Google to help me confirm that. Any ideas?Attachment 41324Attachment 41325Attachment 41326Attachment 41327

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    A float used as a level sensor? The stem would be upright and above the bulb, sliding in a fixed sleeve or clamped in a lever arm, to operate the valve. From an early WC?

    I can only imagine how many of those this gadget has assisted down the drain over the course of its lifetime.
