Pencil sharpener..?
I keep returning to a valve of some type, 3/16" D operating lever to move the valve head from position to position - steam valve? - perhaps to pressurise and then release the pressure to a cylinder.
Hey Retlaw, it is many moons since i had anything to do with mechamical devices, except the ones that discharged things from a rifled tube. Stumped so far on this one, but might have a better idea if i could make out all the lettering

You've got it, the first picture is looking down on the grenade the 2nd picture is the base plug, made in Jan 1917 at H & B's.

Well done walker, nice one Retlaw. Never handled one and the H B threw me a little, the & was missing. I did try and follow through what I knew of you, hence the Fire and firearm suggestions.
Thank you for keeping the few grey cells still activated.

I thought thinks like that would be in every day use in Burnley.Of course, it's a grenade - something we would all be soo familiar with.

What the ecks up with you, its nothing more than a lump of hollow cast iron the same stuff that grates in the road are made of.What I & likely the law would like to know, is why have YOU got a grenade that you can take a close up picture of?
Your not another of those brainwash by the media, that things of a certain shape must be horrible.
its no more deadly that a lump of stone the same size.

Can't remove something it never had, as I said its a hollow lump of cast iron, its never been more than 1/2 mile away from Bullough's since they made it in 1917.
