Being an antique dealer, I love stuff I can't identify. It looks like a kitchen tool of some sort. Maybe an adjustable funnel? Maybe a baboon castrator? :) If no one comes up with a better answer, put it on eBay with, "what is it" in the title and ask for help.

I have one of the sitting on my desk. This bolt is a bolt that is used on a piece of an air brake that they nickname the Pancake. it is The Springbrake release adapter as shown in [this](http://www.zafr.com/trucktcom/b_chmbr_stow.gif) image and also here is the piece for sale [here](http://www.targetmfg.com/pro_show.asp?classid=61&sortid=135&pid=45) What it is used for is that the pancake is under a spring pressure and when you go to change one out you insert this into a hole in the pancake give it a half twist to lock it in and then start tightening the nut on it this will compress the spring and allow you take the pressure off of the shaft and unbolt the shaft coming out of the pancake so that the pancake can be removed. Someone forgot to remove this from the pancake and it fell out probably Edit: I forgot that there is a storage spot that this can bolt to on the pancake and given that the Nut and washer isn't present it probably worked it's way loose from that point. and probably was not left in the service hole. Because if this was left in place in the service hole the parking brake would not work on that pancake as this is the spring pressure that it is releasing. When you set an air brake you are letting all the air out of the pancake and then the spring pressure sets the brakes on and you now have the parking brakes set.

No problem, The ironic thing is that I have one of these siting on my desk because about 3-4 weeks ago I was going through some old boxes I had from when I moved business location several years ago and this thing stuck out as I didn't know what it was and after having it sit on my desk for a couple days the light went on and I did a little research online and confirmed it. Mine came from when one of my Horse Vans lost their Air brakes and I had to take my maintenance guy out onsite and help him replace the Pancake.

Went through devangari and related script but couldn't find the particular character, also tried isolating the character itself and using tineye but no luck - thenagain, doesn't say much really. If I were to guess by the general shape (I'm assuming it has a concave bottom made of marble or similar) and probable religious nature, I'd guess it's used for putting out ceremonial candles or as a part of a ceremonial head dress

Since its bottom is cork that probably rules out the idea of putting out candles. Although it does looks religious that character doesn't look like any version of the om / aum. Although the candle idea is out of the picture the ceremonial head dress, although it seems a bit out of place culturally, is my best guess so far. Unless there are some indentation on the bottom pad of the cork, in which case I'd conjecture that it's a stamp of some sort.

I suggest you look into the IVAR series... Survived many assemblies, is incredibly versatile, and great quality.

I don't know the name of the print but I recognize it from threadless.com. It's a really old one but it's reprinted often.

this is some sort of an idol from the hindu mythology...the figure at the bottom is called a [lingam](http://www.google.com/search?q=lingam&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=zjs&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=CvviTcKlOoXi0QG11e20Bw&ved=0CEkQsAQ&biw=1920&bih=887)... the lingam is a representation of the god named [lord shiva](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva)...the trident at the top is called the [trishul](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trishul_%28weapon%29) and is carried by lord shiva... and as someone had already guessed, the character is [Om](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om)
