That's right Cathy but I changed it as that was a mistake. Have a look at the new one.

Could be multi-core solder Peter on second glance or fuse wire for higher current links.

Ian was right, old fashioned lead fuse wire. Very old, I reckon they date from the 1920s....

I don't know what a 'carbide tip' is but it looks like a scraper of some sort to me. :smile:

On the right track Cathy but not for a candle.

Would it contain oil and burn a wick?

Yes to the oil but no to the wick Gloria.

For burning a spill, I think they call them?

For incense?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Not a spill or incense (or even a joss stick.) Keep the oil but forget the burning!

Does it slowly drip oil onto something?

I’m stumped. For storing oil to use to lubricate spills, to go round lighting candles with?

You are all on the verge.... You need overnight clues. Note the hole in the extension at the top. Concentrate on it containing oil.
It was used in the weaving shed....
