So, those of you who jump blog to blog, may already know from Judy's blog, that we found some nifty little items in Newtown (area of Sydney). The coolest of them was this little gizmo, which they called a "mystery piece"
my guess it is one of those devices they use in old silent films to open and closes scenes.

Next stop was Doug's on Burke. Very cool place with all sorts of things...you name it...even a real camel. Pretty nifty....pricey but definitely hard to find goodies.

For instance, who isn't looking for a skeleton or three. Speaking of which they had great scientific gizmos there. A bit on the pricey side but the stuff is high quality.ciao for now,
Michael

Cannot wait to see what the finished piece looks like. Sounds like divine shopping to me!

I had to laugh at the skeletons - I do believe that you could do something wonderous with those if you really wanted to!!
Step 1 of Michael to Melbourne has taken place...
Your mystery piece looks to be an iris-centering device, probably used to center an object during processing for machining such as punching or stamping, perhaps grinding. Though, approaching knowing exactly what it is kinda sucks the romance out of it. I like your idea better.
