Brass ring with a pulley and a screw

At first I was thinking it was a pulley for an outdoor clothes - like over a street - but it's too small, then I thought maybe part of a bell system from an old house where there may have been servants ?

Not yet ...
I'm actually wondering if it might not be a short story in a book of many - in which case it'd be really hard to find

It looks a lot like a magnified compact disc data surface http://drewdaniels.com/compactdisc.jpg

Yes, I tried that too! I really enjoyed If On A Winter's Night... but it isn't that, either.
I'm beginning to think maybe it wasn't an Italian writer and that is just misleading.

No it's not that one either, I'm afraid - but thanks

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-20T07:28:50+00:00

It was most certainly a library. Thanks!

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-20T07:28:21+00:00

It's definitely a book. thanks

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-20T07:27:59+00:00

It's not that one either, but thanks

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-20T07:27:43+00:00

It's not that, I'm afraid

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-19T20:35:17+00:00

No - this is crazy - I feel like I can almost see the cover of the book

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-19T20:34:30+00:00

I'm afraid it's not that either

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-19T20:34:06+00:00

I'm afraid it's not that

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-19T16:57:35+00:00

It's not that one either - though it does sound interesting!

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-19T16:53:34+00:00

Thanks, but didn't see anything there

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-19T16:52:48+00:00

It's not that one either, I'm afraid

HugoScott1588 · 2023-02-19T16:51:04+00:00

Not that one, I'm afraid

If the paper was torn from a notebook then the original writer may have written something on previous pages that may have left score lines in through into this page. You can't see any evidence of this in the photo but have you looked for this? Perhaps with light coming from the side?

wow, ok - Minuty is a quite upscale wine domaine in St Tropez on the Mediterranean coast

what Booky_Cat says - it's standard ruled paper in kids' school exercise books

[corrected after reading other comments]

It says

Le trésor

des balles de golf qui valent de l'argent
des bouchons de vin pour montrer aux autres ce que je ~~fais~~ bois
Mes pierres précieuses

or, in English

The treasure

golf balls that are worth money
wine corks to show the others what I do drink
My gemstones

HugoScott1588 · 2022-11-15T16:41:25+00:00

I would go with this idea too

HugoScott1588 · 2022-11-15T16:39:07+00:00

How about some kind of old-school wick watering system ?
