    Brilliant angle you got for the first two pics - clear as day now but I'd NEVER had guessed without the last one :D

    As for your latest offering.... reminds me a bit of a leather punch we used to have at home when we were kids.... but otherwise :confused::confused::confused:

    They go in the caps like this with two little holes, most of them get lost and the trusty screwdriver or whatever comes to hand is used. :)

    Yes, a Bosun's call, or pipe but the Yanks do call it a whistle. Well spotted!

    This is 100% marine, not part of a boat/ship but found on one.
    (Not confined to Fergal, but it would be nice if he got it.)
