Mystery Object #2 - 4/18/2011 6:04:58 PM    Wheelah23 Posts: 4296 Joined: 8/9/2010 From: Glen Ridge, New Jersey Status: offline Dug this too. Ain't got a clue what it is. It seems to be made of graphite, or something like that. It's about 5.25" long. Plumbata suggested it was a "cathode from the center of an old large dry-cell battery. They were often used as telephone batteries, but were also used in quack electrical medical devices and whatnot." I am inclined to agree, as I have no idea what it is in the first place! From below The (kind of) pointy end Profile of the blunt end I wrote with it. If I filed it to a point, it would be just like a pencil. _____________________________ Looking for bottles from Glen Ridge, Montclair, Bloomfield, Orange, East Orange, West Orange, South Orange, and if I like 'em, any other bottles from Essex County NJ!
