<p>[QUOTE="CatintheAttic, post: 230760, member: 2291"]Hello, again. Another of my mystery items from a yard sale. This is clearly some kind of gauge or measure, but for what? It consists of 9 aluminium discs fastened together with a hinging rivet. Each has a square cut out of the middle in graduated sizes. The smallest measures 1" square; the largest 2.5" square. Each disc is marked with the size of the square. The largest square has chamfered corners. It bears no maker's marks, and could date anywhere from the 1920s to the 1970s. Has anyone got any idea what the purpose of this curious object might have been?? I'd be grateful if you could let me know so I can cross out another mystery. Thanks.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]69440[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]69441[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
