Antarctic Item 022

Today’s mystery item had a rotating part that’s now stuck. Whatever its former purpose, the “dial with a smile” appears content in retirement.

The flip side is happy too, perhaps because it kind of resembles a toy automobile when turned upside-down. Not a bad after-life for a mechanical device.

  2. I suspected this might catch your eye Sharona! This was from Crunch Noring at Marble Point. It’s one of the many artifacts he found around camp over the years there. Do you or Holly have any clues to what it might be?
