    In with a load of watch parts. No other tools. I’d guess they’re the size of a short and stubby pen but it’s hard to be sure. Might be a number visible on one of them. So guys... any ideas ?

    I‘m quite sure I saw those as a „mid case“ of a pen. Not sure what maker or model. I guess hey are hollow?

    I guess they open up at the point where the narrow band is, but I only have this one picture so it’s a guess. On the right band you can make out a number four, perhaps something like 0-4 or 10-4.

    It may all become obvious when you have them in hand.

    They’re part of an active eBay listing. There’s a buy it now price which is just fractionally too much for the bits I need, so I was trying to figure out what these are and if they have value.

    ^ I think this is the best guess. I’m a pen guy too, I dont think they are pen barrels.

    I think the markings on the band don’t make sense if it’s just a pillar, unless they’re silver and it’s a hallmark but that seems unlikely...

    There’s not much... they’re going to be in the range 3-6 inches long.

    I know nothing about clocks... so I headed over to google for 400-day clocks and that’s a pretty good idea :thumbsup:

    Yes, most likely desk top pillars OR prototype light sabers :D

    Thanks guys :thumbsup:

    Great to get an idea what they might be, but a shame they don’t push the listing into “buy“ territory.

    Sort of like this is what I had in mind... it was late .... the desk clock theory makes way more sense.

    I bought the lot !

    So let’s see who’s right (most likely Canuck with the 400 day clock), and who was furthest from the truth (most likely Draven with his prototype light sabers) :D

    I’ll update the thread when it all arrives...
