That’s my thought too.

You're both right. It's a portable yarn balance that you could take to the 'change in your pocket....

You're right Tom! It's an oldie.
It's very useful Gloria. They don't make them like this a
any more....

Here you are, it's the soldered joint of the spout to the body of a tinsmith made oil can.

Sorry Gloria, no but you are right in suspecting it isn't a normal drill. Look at it very closely.....
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Anti clockwise drill bit
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Its a three fluted drill which is supposed to be more self centring without the need of a pilot drill. Used for some of the tougher materials . Never seen one being used. Horses for courses as they say.
