The Winchester house is right down the street from mine. Talk about history. Anything Winchester is cool.

My guess is the butt end of a shotgun shell if the made them with bakelite. It's just a guess 'cause I don't know guns. _____________________________ My 10¢ worth (inflation) Eric If you love what your doing it might be illegal, so watch your back.

That doesn't mean that none were made, though. I would just like to see a clear photo of that thing. Winchester made all sorts of tools and attachments, as well as firearms.

Here's a better pic. Pretty good eyes maise, right on the money with the wording, but a bakelite shotshell would be hazardous. nice try though.    Attachment (1) _____________________________ Life is a Ditch.
