Wall fixings
I have found a number of something like an wall anchor of a type I not
seen before, found on a shelf in my workshop, from long ago and a forgotten purpose. Unlike a Rawlbolt, they lack a screw thread, they just have a wedge which probably wedges if hammered into the hole and around 7mm overall diameter. Instead of a bolt or thread once installed, they just have a flattened part poking out, which is flattened out to an eye. They are anodised and gold colour. I just cannot think what use they might be, but obviously made/ sold for a specific purpose. |

Similar to this? http://osdgroup.it/eng/product.asp?p=1582 I just cannot think what use they might be, but obviously made/ sold for a specific purpose. Apparently for fixing wires and nets to buildings to keep the pigeons off. |
