Another Weird Item - Number Wheel
« on: February 25, 2012, 02:46:11 pm »

All,

This may be a stumper.  I found this in the basement of an old home in Takoma Park, MD (outside of DC).  Someone, at the sale said it was a gambling wheel but most gambling wheels do not have the numbers in order. Sharing pictures of both front and back.  It is cast iron.   Any one have any thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback in advance.
Ray

I'd guess that it's not 'gaming-related' also , 2x4misc .

I'd say it's related to an elevator !

(missing #13 is a dead give-away on this opinion!)

Ha - my wife was saying the same thing after I posted. Any idea on what the  B S R K P stands for? (Guess the B for basement).

Thanks!

   I think R is actually Roof, but S appears to follow the R and the only thing comes to mind is Sky, maybe from the wonka factory   :D
