Heya all,
As i started following Tony's (TONZNZ) Path of mud hunting , i start coming across Broken watch parts and so on,

Here is an interesting part that has Villiers on it and most likely comes from their motorcycle engine,
I tried visual google search for it, but didnt match exact part.

Any thoughts? :-)

Could be motorcycle but more common I think was their motor mower engine.

As General Sir Charles Munro said when he visited the Gallipoli Battlefield to assess the situation -"This is just like Alice in Wonderland - curiouser and curiouser" - and its a might curious Villiers part you have their Mr Drunkbrother.
