alanI have looked through adverts, catalogues, etc., and cannot find anything that looks like your item.
I doubt that it has been fixed on a machine. I would have thought that if it came with a machine, it would have the maker mark such as Ransomes or Greens. Also, it appears to have no other fixing than the ability to take a length of wire or string through the hole.
I was also thinking along Charlie’s lines. He mentioned that it may have been attached to a bag of seed or graded product and this does seem quite plausible. Perhaps the purpose of it being made of brass would be that it could be stamped with a reference number if it were blank – and the size is so that it could be read or seen easily.
Has anybody any other thoughts?
