fv1609 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Looks similar in shape to one of the old Jetex engines I had as a kid.. Yes Lee I had one of those my balsa wood fleet. Fitted one a Venom bomber & it was the power unit on Sputnik on a rubber band launched rocket. The launch rail for the Sputnik jammed & the rocket caught fire Zepplin style. But anyway this thing is not Jetex related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 It's the top part of one of those bead breakers Tony B is after.. No but I'd not be suprised if it a piece of vetaniry kit. Looks very similar to a device called a Hobday speculum. Named after Sir Fredrick Thomas George Hobday. It was used in connection with a procedure known as Hobdaying. The procedure involves making an icision in the throat of a horse, mujle or ass, and removing the vocal chords. This was done to military horses to prevent them whinniying. Actually, your crack about night. It's not a (Note spelling ) Lanthorn, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ploughman Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Is it laid on its side? Possible that it may be a stand off charge for demolitions. Legs at left with the shaped charge being formed in the cone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well picked up on "your crack about night"that was a deliberate clue for the crossword people but it may only confuse & mislead others. :-D Not a Lanthorn either.
