CARTOON REALITY Wrote:Something else just occurred to me . . . is it a scupper ball valve?On a ship the size of the SS Teddington they wouldn't normally bother with a ball valve in the scuppers. This is far too shiny and nice for in the bilges.
Does this object have a hole all the way through? That's not clear from the photo.
Looks like some sort of decorative brass mount to me...maybe for a flagpole or light, something that needs to be able to be removed fairly easily?
