Absolutely no offers.... It is an accessory Johnny Made for his large 1956 Ornamental Lathe and is a Medallion Machine. It's function is to copy and reproduce small objects like coins or brooches in ivory or very hard similar materials.....
Now we need another object, any offers?

Not a peep! It's the interior of a` Kirkham high pressure steam engine cylinder lubricator.
We need another object.

It’s a Mystery to me. 🤔. From Barlick for Barlickers.
Do you know what this is / was? Which decade?

Looks like a (piped TV, (cable TV) switch. Usually installed on the window casement. Some had BBC radio channels as well. Ours at home when I was lad had BBC 1 and ITV TV, Home Service (R4) Third Programme (R3) and the Light Programme (R2). The system pre dates the advent of BBC2 and Radio 1. Some of the distribution cabling is still visible on some of the properties around town. Antennas and amplifiers for the service were just off Salterforth Lane in the field at the side of Rainhall Rock. Distribution and amplification system was in the building at the bottom of York Street in Barlick.
