Any Ideas?


Recommended Posts


I think I know because I have some.  They are part of the mechanism that joins headboard and tailboard of beds to the side rails.  (Antique beds, not modern ones.)   If I can dig them up amonst my museum collection :biggrin: of pieces parts, I may be able to better show how they work.

BTW, in the future it will help to show scale, either by photographing a measure/ruler along with the unknown, or something of common knowledge (such as a coin).

Cool find! By the paper behind it, it doesn't look big.

Yep, those are the mating pieces.  The ring shaped one is embedded in the side rail while the keyhole slotted ones are in the headboard & tailboard.  It's quite a robust method (which of course is required!).😁
