Thing?? now known as a Mohr Pinchcock Clamp.

Another object off the stall at Moss Farm which came with a story, another story I am really not sure about. The man said it was a medical item and was used as a tourniquet for a bleeding finger...is it though?  Not knowing what else it might be I will have to go with that until advised otherwise.
Patent Number 645514

Michael just told me that someone on Flickr said it is called a MOHR PINCHCOCK CLAMP, and is used on tubes to regulate the flow of liquids or gas..so it is medical.....but not as gory..

What is it really? Judges Wig Powder Pot.

I always like a good story with an object, and I bought a few things off the same stall at Moss Farm, just because the man said this wasn't a pepper pot..."yes indeed that is what it looks like, but it is actually a pot to hold powder to dust the wig of a judge" he said...he swore that is what it is...not sure myself.
