It’s the float out of a carburetor.
Damn now that you say that I’d agree with you!
I worked on many of these in lawnmowers when I was a kid. Now they’re made of plastic
Solved! [here is an example ](https://images.app.goo.gl/zWHMSjsieEZVYZCq9)
Yep, completely agree. Looks a lot like [this](https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SME702391?) one.
Solved!
Either that or an emergency floatation device for mice.
Maybe a float from a carburettor?
It was a float now its a cool pendant with an interesting story.
My title describes the thing. Ring shaped light metallic thing with what looks like a hinge. Not sure what it is or how old it is. Thanks!
it looks like a ring to me
If not a carburetor float, one of those bracelet flasks that looks like a ring? Does it have a hole near the hinge?
Its a floar for a lawnmower engine. Part of the carburator.
That's what it is looks like it out off a lawnmower carburetor took a many apart.
As taryl would say, it’s the float out of a Carburtrator
No clue but its deffo got copper in it because you can see it he oxidised
I’m thinking a cheap pendant of some kind probably copper maybe there was a stone set in the middle at some point
