[QUOTE="Hilux, post: 678181, member: 23052"] Had a look in some bush at a local park. I found this coin like brass disk. It turns out it's the base of an 1850's match holder. [ATTACH type="full" width="379px"]13171[/ATTACH] The story is that after turning off your gas light, you'd open it and grab a match from inside. You'd light a match by striking it on the base. The lit match would be placed in the hole on the top which would give you 30 seconds of light to get into bed. Hopefully I'll find the rest when I go back there.
