Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: tikay on October 04, 2015, 11:13:09 AM It's an 18th century medical implement, inserted via a lower orifice to remove gallstones. Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: bobAlike on October 04, 2015, 12:42:18 PM How big is it? Hard to tell from pic.
Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: TightEnd on October 04, 2015, 12:48:33 PM How big is it? Hard to tell from pic. 3 foot long, touch less maybe Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: bobAlike on October 04, 2015, 01:00:05 PM How big is it? Hard to tell from pic. 3 foot long, touch less maybe Could be an implement of torture or maybe something a vet would use. Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: Newportlad on October 04, 2015, 03:33:48 PM Is it made from wood?
Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: Doobs on October 04, 2015, 04:14:30 PM Is it for thatching or similar?
Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: Knottikay on October 04, 2015, 06:00:27 PM As this has been posted on a poker forum, is it a poker? (as in fire) Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: doubleup on October 04, 2015, 08:10:19 PM If that is it's natural state I'd guess a seed of some kind. Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: RED-DOG on October 04, 2015, 08:12:47 PM Is it a bull's pizzle?
Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: TightEnd on October 05, 2015, 10:58:48 AM it is shaped or sculptured from an animal part which is?
and is used for? Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: Graham C on October 05, 2015, 11:03:39 AM Some sort of horn or antler?
Thatching roofs? Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: TightEnd on October 05, 2015, 11:05:16 AM It is a horn.....
by the way, it sold for five figures in an English auction last week.... Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: tikay on October 05, 2015, 11:11:11 AM It's made from rhino horn, right? Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: TightEnd on October 05, 2015, 11:13:24 AM Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: tikay on October 05, 2015, 11:16:12 AM Do I get the £20 then? Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: RED-DOG on October 05, 2015, 11:30:45 AM I still think it's a pizzle. They were often used as walking sticking or as whips to beat slaves.
Google images. Bull's pizzle. Happy to be proved wrong though. Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: TightEnd on October 05, 2015, 11:35:37 AM it is a tribal staff, so walking stick works
made of rhino horn rare artefact, apparently. valuable Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: tikay on October 05, 2015, 11:43:48 AM Yeah, exactly as I thought. Title: Re: Treasure hunt Post by: TightEnd on October 05, 2015, 11:47:08 AM it was found on a derbyshire farm
