Mystery Object ...from Nazeing
« on: September 10, 2007, 10:09:12 AM »
Who can guess the purpose of this item?  It's not something readily available, so you'll have to get your thinking caps on, unless some brain-box knows immediately!

It weighs just over 5kg, and is approximately 27cm in diameter.  Interestingly, it's hollow inside, but sealed completely.  It has a singular purpose, and a definite place that it would be used.  Who can tell me what it is, and then the company that made it?   :)

Is it for condensing water when you are lost in the desert?  you put it in a little hollow in the hot sand and the water condenses on the top and falls down into the rim?

 :o

( I think I watch Ray Mears too much....)
Thank you very much!

Max, my first thought is some type of decklight to be set into a deck to allow light into a below deck space?
