Alluminati Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Any idea what this may be? It was found at a 130 year old school yard that they are soon going to tear down, though it doesn't necessarily mean its school related. My first thought was it might be part of a horn? However looking at it further, I don't know if it had the tolerances to be part of an instrument. The top part swivels in the center, while doing so it lowers the tear drop shaped flap into the tube part, while raising the other two. (One appears to be missing) It seems like it could be used to count or meter out some objects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredmason Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 just a wild guess; Perhaps part of a change maker. People wore them on a belt. There would be a tube for pennies through quarters...so, this would be a part of the whole thing... fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDancer Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I'm inclined to agree with Fred, a change dispenser part. Odd lay out for the seperator plates... here are some google images : https://www.google.com/search?q=vintage+coin+dispenser&sa=X&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ved=2ahUKEwjNhZKsmJ_dAhVs04MKHQYDDKEQsAR6BAgGEAE&biw=1366&bih=670 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Being older than dirt I should know what it is. I do know I don’t have one. Tell you what I’ll do. If anyone can find out what it is I will send that person who got it correct three Treasure Mags from the 60-70-80’s free to your door. If someone will let me know when we have a winner.

That is exactly what it is. (Pictures below lifted from "Military Antiques and Museum") I'm very glad I posted this here, I wasn't going to bother, I figured nobody is going to know what it is, it should be garbage lol. Man this was fun, thanks for all of the guesses. It looks like Rege-PA has just won himself some magazines. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge Runner Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hey Everyone Just to let all know I got Rege mags in the mail and if all goes well he should have them by this Saturday. Today I was doing more house cleaning and up pop more Treasure mags. I’ve been getting them from back in 65 and a while back a friend unloaded some more on me.
