Hi All,

Just picked up a small auction ;lot which has a lot (30+) of these small brass or bronze castings in it.

Came from a guitar place but am assured these are NOT guitar items.

My first thought was thumbscrews for marking gauges etc but they are too short?

Anyone have any thoughts please?

Cheers, Martin

When I first saw these I thought fuel banjo's for models but the wall thickness was too thin for them

The flat side diameter is slightly wider than the other side, a slight taper from bottom to top.

Assured that they are NOT tuning pegs.

MMMM???

It'll be for a banjo or something, so Dalboy got it first

I think they're old-style adjustable shelf supports. Small end goes in holes in the vertical sides, shelf sits on top of the 'disc' bit. My neighbour gave me an old shelf unit some years ago and the shelves were held up by identical 'brass' castings.

I know you said they are not guitar related, but they do look like these.
