Some electric wheel chairs or scooters will have an oversized control knob for folks with limited grip.

Problem with that is,, how to attach and secure it ??  No way I can see !!  To figure what it is,, you have to know what it does !! I have looked through a bunch of google images and saw nothing even similar !!

It is most likely a paperweight!

The metal part must come out!!!  If it has lights...you have to get to the battery!  (Or am I trying to sound rational?)

Although it may not be antique...it is kinda fun to try and figure it out!

By-the-way Wullie, Larger people needs shifts also!  :)

..... for a round metal piece in the side. On the back side, there are a couple of tiny things that appear to be lightbulbs ....

How about a close-up picture of what you describe as a "metal piece" and "lightbulbs".

It looks to me to be made of 2-piece molded plastic and probably "sonic" welded together. If so, then saw or hammer is required for dis-assembly.

HA, if there is a battery inside ...... then it could have had a "charging" stand ..... like phones n' electric razors are made now days.

like i said in a previous post...that cruciform configuration on the underside,makes me think this is inserted in,..like a key, then it could be turned like in a timer ,and the ball would revolve..or the mechanism underneath would turn.....am i grasping at straws....you bet i am.......Get a bloody hammer and put us out of our misery....better still send it to me..and ..i,ll give it a good seeing too..... ;D....
