Something to do with spinning yarn?

Eric the Red,
Is it a seed dibber

@Temmu you not mean that the cork is to go back on the bottle once opened :tease:

It's not a seed dibber nor is it a variable speed cork for bottles although Temmu is thinking along the right lines.

a furniture peg.

if the hole is too small, it sticks out obnoxiously causing great pain to the sitters thereon.

It has nothing to do with carpentry.

Does it screw into wine barrels...ie a bung? Or maybe a boat's bung?

You are so close but I don't think that I can give it to you - it had a specific purpose for a particular type of water craft. Are you able to narrow it down?

For plugging leaks in wooden boats/ships?

Eric the Red · November 27, 2009, 09:42:27 PM

Plugging leaks, yes. Boats, yes - of a sort. Wooden, no.

A life raft bullet hole plug, it was part of a kit for a life raft that was carried on an airplane or large ship.

An iron screw used for plugging a hole in an ironclad sub?

Shax · November 28, 2009, 05:39:37 AM

It's not for GR@PH's pedal-boat, is it? :laughing:

Fibreglass yachts?
Submarines?
Jet-skis?
