  2. You might get a better response by introducing yourself and little background on the pictured item.

    Really sparse info on Profile Page and not even a hint of your location. Are you in a witness Protection Program or some such......or just REALLY shy?

    Sheesh, can't you guys do a simple background search, based on posting image info?

    The image came from:

    Lance McCormack.

    Something to compare size with would be an additional help.
    Size of the object in question, that is.

    It's a venturi scoop (bug catcher) for either a 1947 Framus or a 1942 Whatzit.

    Well, this first-time poster got the answer to his question (power ashtray) and a whole lot of ribbing. Welcome to the Hamb! :D If he comes back to say thanks, we have a worthwhile addition to our forum. If that's the last we hear of him, he's just another drive-by yobbo looking to make a few bucks on eBay. Start the clock...
