"Found in a river in Manchester UK (white number painted on) – seems to have a light bulb but no electric mechanism inside, knob on top pushes down and twists, then releases with a loud click. Engraved “Patent No. 217135” with no results."
A: "Looks to be an Eveready bike light of some kind. I recall something about bikes and cars in ww2 having that kind of deflector to reduce lights in blackouts (so it only shines directly below the vehicle, not out into the road so much."

#1 Those are a pair of speakers made by Empire. They were made in the mid-'60s and are the Grenadier model. They had heavy marble tops.

#8 That's the difference between taking your car to an "oil change guy" and a qualified mechanic.

Bart, It probably failed sometime in the past and dropped when replaced. I do that all the time with nuts,bolts,and screws.

#21 These actually work. I use the small, suction cup attached to an extending pole to replace light bulbs.

Nick,
I remember using and dropping a light bulb from one of these in the late 90s in a department store thank goodness the department store was closed. It was about a 25 to 30 foot drop, the noise of the bulb crashing to the marble floor was deafening throughout the closed store at the time.

#16 if it was in the kitchen, than it might have been used as a food shredder. Both devices are made very much the made, although most shredders are on the side of a square grater.
