Buried in our garden we found the following. It’s not something I’ve ever seen before, maybe part of clothes lines? It has two pivot points, where it is attached to the wood and the small knife blade part. If it’s useful it can be sand blasted, painted and put back to use. So what is it?
We have a winner!!!
Our architectural/building advisor Derrick McNab correctly identified it. Click to reveal the answer.
Where have you been?
It looks like some sort of gate/door locking mechanism and a length of wood goes into the piece under the knife blade.
Ah you could be correct. I did find another bit of metal near by and may be they are connected. I’ll take a photo of that.
