<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 2434827, member: 8267"]You say it is "hinged". How does the second part move - does it just rotate around the solid round part? Are there brass fittings on both ends, or just one? If only one end, it seems it might be designed to slip something between the two parts, roll it up, and then slip it back off the open end. Like a chart roller, as [USER=1496]@Hollyblue[/USER] suggested, but for something smaller than a typical map.</p><p><br /></p><p>Alternatively, maybe the second part is just there to keep it from rolling off the clerk's slanted desk. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
