    Hi all,

    I’m doing a cull of my numismatic collection, and wonder if anyone knows what this is? Acquired at a car boot some years ago, here in Edinburgh.

    I thought it was either a miniature shower head, or a miniature hair dryer.:bucktooth:

    Ditto ! Occasionally I'll check out 'doll house miniatures' on Ebay,some of which are extraordinary.

    I don't see the shower head. I was wondering if it might be runic?

    I see an I, an M and an H, and a smaller c and o along the I central axis. So not runic imo.

    Looks like the J has a shorter curve to the right, it looks partly worn. That is why I thought of an I (old fashioned flamboyant style).

    What you see as a loop on the M looks like a separate o to me.;)
