help wanted. enquire within.
I recently came into possession of an item. While I have some ideas what it might be used for, I don’t really know what it is. You can find pictures here, here, and here. One might be tempted to label it a bell, but it is missing the dinger (for lack of a better word). What I can tell you is that it is made of pewter, and the box it came in gives zero indication of what it might be used for.
Any insights you might have would be welcome, outlandish guesses are even more welcome.
Clapper is the word I think you’re looking for. It looks like a candlestick snuffer.
clapper, dinger, donger, what’s in a name? It makes noise.
I think it’s just a trinket/figure for decoration.
ok, you need some new stuff. I’ve written new stuff so what’s your problem?
