No, no and no! Intrigued.

It's a Victorian stamp-licking machine that's been dumped in a skip because the new self-sticking stamps have made it redundant, and no-one can afford to post letters anyway...

Format reminds me of the Sanctuary Bell at Durham Cathedral and it would also seem to be on a door  so I'll guess something from Poundland, Muswell Hill

Doorknob Kerr, bell-pull?

Sorry, from iPad, word recognition gone mad. Should read, doorknob or bell pull. Give us a clue?

I've seen this. Is it on the gate to Broomfield House in Broomfield Avenue?

Congratulations Joe! It is exactly that ... sorry no prize - just the adulation of your neighbours!

... I assume it's some sort of latch - but it is fitted at above head height... any one got any further information about it?

Joe, thank you for putting me out of my misery. I can now move on.

Comment by Lindsey Berthoud on February 15, 2014 at 10:47

Ha, brilliant. If it's above head height, could it be for folk on horses? Just reminded of the Pegasus crossing at Hyde Park http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_crossing

I think it was a bell pull. I've got some info about it somewhere. I'll hunt around and post what I find.
