What is this part?
« on: February 01, 2012, 19:38:29 »
This has just come in a mixed lot from ebay.

It looks very similar to the part that the little crane armfits into on the Steck castles

Apologies for the very poor quality photo :-[

Could it be something from a boat? part of a mast, perhaps?  ???

I've had a quick look through all the masty related parts on Playmodb, but I can't seem to find anything.

I'm pretty sure one of those wooden crane jibs fits into it and then it fits on to something else :-\

It does look like a really key part to some set or vehicle. :-\ Don't you hate that, when a part looks important and you can't identify it?

could it be a piece of the dragonland battle-wagon-prison catapult thing? i dont have one so i cant really check but since its brown it might fit into that or something else like it
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

I think Damop's in the right area, a light crane or flagpost.  There are two clips at the back (right hand side) which would fit into a vertical surface and on the left hand side the projection looks designed to have a rope wound round it.
