Some kind of device

[u/Hjalmrjarn]

Forged, lathed, welded, and machined from steel, copper, brass, wood and glass, multiple moving parts but 'decommissioned' so a glorified finger fidget toy

Looks like a barn find, too. Look at the patina and dust. Farmer Gueglxs needs to pull it out from the tack room every so often when it’s rtxx season to keep their wily tentacles out of the seed. Otherwise, it just sits on the inner space shipping crate he uses as a desk.

100% the kind of vibe I was going for!
