News Shopper reader asks for help identifying mystery charity shop find

The unidentifed object found by a News Shopper reader
A NEWS Shopper reader is asking for help identifying his mystery charity shop find.
Tim Davis, 68, spied the bizarre-looking brass object in the window of an Orpington charity shop and says he found it "irresistible".
The former camera repair man, who lives in Farnborough, wonders if it might be a mechanical wine pourer but is appealing to readers to help him shed further light on the discovery.
Mr Davis, who bartered the strange sale down from £65 to £25, said: "I just happened to see it in the window.
"I couldn’t resist it."

The story is about a man trying to find out what something is but he already thinks it may be a mechanical wine pourer.
If you put "mechanical wine pourer" in google images it brings up what he has and what he thought he had. isnt that quicker than going to the newsshopper

Clearly not an "old fool" then... and he did his bit for charity
As my old Ma always said, "there's no fool like an old fool boi. "
