"A strange metal container with a lock and a hole in the front and the word ‘Nelson’ on it. The back has a dial reading just under 22 with no units."
A: "It’s a lock that is used on shipping containers. When the pin is inserted and it’s locked, there is nothing exposed that can be cut."

#32 Many years ago, Black and Decker used to supply one of these (in blue) with their electric lawnmowers and strimmers. This was soon copied by other manufacturers who, obviously, used different colours - usually black. They were later on taken up for other uses, ie: Christmas lights etc.

Didi, my carpenter/architect grandfather had one of these. It killed me to have to leave it behind when we sold the house, but it was HUGE and we couldn't take it with us. :( I hope someone has made better use of it than this.

#28 it's an old heating device for beds.
Pur coals inside and then place under covers.

Derrick, No, those ones don't have holes in the top and are usually flatter. This would make your bed smell like smoke.
