    That torch works a lot like a pop can camping stove. I made a few of them one time and used them on a backpacking trip. Worked like a charm.

    it has to do with air, but not airplanes - it is not a sextant.

    Well, I'm confused...it sure looks like this, described as a "vintage antique wwii navy aircraft sextant keuffel sons type aero 1928".
    However, I see your's labeled as Keuffel & Esser Co.
    What do you think you have?

    joec brace yourself

    Its not "guess what i have?". Its "wtf is this thing i found?"

    My razor handle thread from 5 yearsago, that bird thing, and the mystery wrench would all go here. Im organized like that. But im not broome level.

    I have another object i found in a wall in an old house i need to track down. Been trying to figure out what this thing is for years.

    Well played, flyboy. :clap:
    I was hooked on the sextant idea even tho' I could see it was missing a couple sun filters...figured they were lost in transit. :D

    Probably. Kidde is a fire equipment Mfr and Carbon Dioxide is a fire extinguisher.
