Is it the plunger off a cafetière? Stainless steel and coffee grounds....

Nay. You're getting warm though.

Then some other sort of coffee machine or percolator.... Espresso?

Warmer. It's related to my morning coffee.

Not a camping stove or watering can.

It's the top of a chocolate powder shaker for sprinkling on top of your morning cappuccino?

Well done Pete, spot on

Good God! Such sophistication in Foulridge..... I wouldn't have got that one.

I've got the less sophisticated version without the handle...

It's the Sainsbury's model

Where and what is it?

Rope race chamber at Ellen Road?

Exactly right Ian. I thought that it might puzzle some of the congregation.

What exactly is it?

No takers?

It's a shuttle but obviously more to it

Quite Tom. Keep going!

Is it for a different material like silk

It's a short shuttle!

End feed shuttle?

For Gold thread. seem to think we have had it before.

Ken has it and yes it's an oldie. I shall try to think of a new one!

Whilst Stanley is thinking of a new one, what can anyone tell me about this?

Does this make more sense?
Is it a collection of old farm equipment for making cider?

It looks to me more like the components of an old tin processing set up. On the right the horizontal drum with projections which, when rotated, lifts the vertical stamps and drops them down onto the tin ore.Usually driven by a waterwheel. Of course it could be for other metal ores. On the left the trough and bowl may be to do with smelting the ore

No not tin processing.
