Thanks guys. i got two text message alerts last night about those bids and that sure shook me out of a deep sleep. I guess somebody knows what this thing is. In a couple days ill have something else to show you guys, its a 17th century pewter tankard. looks really interesting but its still in the mail.

if anyone knows anybody into this kind of stuff please show them this. I really want this to go to someone who will display it because its a neat piece of history. Make them a great deal on it.

Yes the whole top part of it is brass. It definitely is cool but i cant find these things anywhere. The only one that looked close is on display at athens college

I have acquired an Old Central Scientific Co. item. I have looked rather extensively online for a match and the closest i can find is that it is an old Resistance Box. They used them in university science labs from what i can gather around 1920 to 1957. If anyone can tell me anything more or what it could be worth i would appreciate it. It is for sale so ill consider any reasonable offers.
