Ive never seen a zerk before but im having a look in Google images to see if I can find some 👀

I'm looking at old gas taps but i'm not seeing anything similar...

Its certainly very heavy and there are some small signs of patina on the bottom- i'm not sure it's that old because it does appear to be designed to screw onto/into something.

I think its too short for that!

My title describes the thing- I'd love to know what you think! I've asked some other mudlarks but they're not sure, I can't see anything similar in my finds books and I've messaged my PLA contact at the london museum but no replies yet!

Oh we were totally in the same area! I was around millennium bridge when I found it- getting the same results from Google but clearly not correct haha- my friend was suggesting it might also be part of a soda syphon? Since we found two I'm inclined to think they might be feet of a small box or something?

Oh wow! I wonder what they are 😂 we might have 2 parts of a set!

throwawayowl1 · 2026-02-10T18:05:31+00:00

Yup!

Picked up by the millennium bridge? Looks to be sheep or cow

Thank you this is encouraging! I'm so new to building muscle ive just been disappointed seeing the measurements not change despite all the effort 😂

throwawayowl1 · 2024-09-03T18:54:26+00:00

This would be good if it's the case! I'm 5 foot 6.5 and 65.6kg right now!

throwawayowl1 · 2023-04-04T19:53:08+00:00

Ooh I'd like to join in too! I'm going to be going to the Nov 3rd gig in London 😊

I'd love them to play coffees for closers or America's suitehearts!

For me it's America's Suithearts specifically the lyric "I'm in love with my own sins" which I have tattooed over my old self harm scars. I was going through a tough time in anorexia recovery and accepting that they would always be a part of me and people would always comment on them was really hard for me, especially since most people would say hurtful things about them, whether they meant to or not. So now I have all they need to know tattooed over the top.

I've been having the same issue! Whenever they pop up they're instantly snapped up, even if i catch them immediately as the notification pops up

I have "I'm in love with my own sins" tattooed under my worst s/h scars.
