During the auction at Arlen and Tina Rienstra's Beat the Winter Blahs swap meet, Josh Dondorf holds a broken item from the Hemingray dump. It was in a box of dump finds that were auctioned. Nobody could identify exactly what it was. It looks like a spool with a skirt, but it could also be a bushing, as there are grooves in the base that might have been used with seals.

In this close-up you can see the grooves in the base.
