Description

Metal assembly with a moveable metal part inside an enclosure. The object consists of a metal ring with four legs that rise and then bend to the center and join together, forming an enclosure. The ring is fastened to a slightly larger ring perhaps by a weld. Inside the enclosure is a disk with a round shaft that seats on a bevelled portion of the upper ring as a valve would do when closing. The object is apparently a part of a larger object. The lower ring is heavily corroded. The object was found on the Kinney family property at 920 Sleater-Kinney Rd NE
