Just bought a house, found this hidden inside the front bushes. Screws in a wooden ball, looks like a mace. What was/is this used for?
I have only been living here less than a month. Previous owner was in his 90's and moved out to receive care from a family member. Quiet neighborhood. Eastern Canada.
Anything helps!
Steel tool(?) ~34mm long made from 1mm thick wire with a delta shaped back end and two "legs" that are crossing, which end in ~1.5mm ball "feet". The legs are of different lengths, and have been stamped flat in the middle of the item. The legs move only slightly with moderate finger pressure before
For context I found this inside a lens cap for a Fuji Finepix X100, which I had covered in tape to keep the item from getting lost. It was accompanied by random wood and machine screws, none of which belonged to the camera, so I have my doubts that it's camera related.
