You are missing a little round disc that inserts and twists to hold the candlestick folded closed, and then you take that piece, place it over the 'point' and it becomes the base of the candle to catch the drips. The missing piece is stamped Samuel Yellin Metalworks on the left of the hole, and Philadelphia PA 19139 USA on the right of hole. I have one int he original box and with the brochure.</p>TrishMon, 01 Mar 2010 07:54:16 -0000http://www.docpop.org/2007/10/the-case-of-the-mystery-heirloom/#comment-24145442<p>Hm. I am not sure what is this, but I have several ideas where can it be used. But definatly it is some positioning instrument. For example, if you have to move some object, you can place it back where it was before. I think in movie studios I sow something similar, when they have to continue some scene, but they have to move some objects. </p>Vrnjacka BanjaThu, 26 Nov 2009 16:25:41 -0000http://www.docpop.org/2007/10/the-case-of-the-mystery-heirloom/#comment-8723009<p>I think it is meant to poke around in your brain :) <br>if the middle thing holds sth when folded I still don't know what the pointy end is...</p>Graphic Design MelburneMon, 27 Apr 2009 06:28:36 -0000
