michielh3 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 An antique oil meter ? ( Don't really know if i translated it correctly , but it would be the rod inserted into the oil resevoir to measure the amount of oil left. )
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 ^I was actually going to say that too. Although I was going to say a pendulum for the clock.
monkeyoverlord71 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 It looks a bit like a duck. Is it a cukoo clock winder key?
TPDave Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Looks like a chiming hammer. Maybe from a long case clock?
Kennyweird Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 ^ Huh? Lightning rods don't store energy. Besides, I said it was part of a clock.
onewheeled999 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I'm guessing it's the spring that makes the hands only go a certain amount or something? I have no knowledge about clocks, so this is probably really stupid.
kamikazewatermelon Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Is it the escapement? EDIT: or a wind up key?
Mechanic Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I'm just going to guess based on a process of elimination. Is it an escapement spring?
