Nautical Antique Sailing Ship Fiddle Block, Massive, Forged, Wooden Sheaves on 2040-parts.com
Port Republic, Maryland, United States
|
Unique fiddle, triple block with 7" diameter wooden sheaves. Block is 36" H x 7" W x 7" D and weighs about 50 lbs. A 10' length of 2" manila is attached. This an extraordinary decorative piece for a large installation. The housing is forged metal with blacksmith forged bolts. Block is probably oak, but we have not attempted to clean it. Experts have inspected this item and concluded that it was not designed for use but as a decorative item. The sheaves are not of ironwood and the metal sheathing is not designed for the heavy loads that would have been exerted. We have adjusted the price accordingly. Free shipping in the continental US.

Vauxhall Vectra renamed as Insignia
Mon, 03 Dec 2007By Motor Industry 03 December 2007 09:46 Vauxhall has renamed its Vectra replacement, and like we all thought, it's going to be called Insignia. According to Vauxhall the Insignia name represents 'a new name for a new era', and we'll see if Vauxhall is telling the truth when the covers come off the new car at the British Motor Show in July 2008. It's a big claim for Vauxhall, but the teaser shot (above right) shows that at least Vauxhall seems to have gotten the design of the Insignia right.
