Pipe cleaners? Are you sure :smile: I've just had another look, and still think it's a piece of the Great Barrier Reef. Or perhaps an early Damien Hirst.

Sorry, none of you have got it. It's the trademark of Budenberg's, Makers of the best pressure gauges in the world. They invented the Bourdon Tube pressure gauge and for many years these were standard equipment on all steam boilers. How about this one...

Trade mark looks like a cooling tower but isn't Huddersfield famous for wool manufacturing it looks like the trade mark that was on a ball of wool. Eileen

That's it, Hopkinson's, best valves and boiler fittings ever. World standard in their day.

Budenberg entrance in 1988. When WW1 started Budenbergs were, like many other firms with German names, under suspicion. They were originally called Schaeffer and Budenberg and the government made them change the name. When they had the brass plates made they put the original name on the bottom under the new approved name.

Are they , teeth, serrations, bristle, or threads ?, it looks a little like some form of tap, or something for teasing, grinding etc.
