Look Sir, Droids part

I've always suspected it was a hood from a 35mm camera lense.
Never heard of anyone having this piece but jason joiner does visit the site from time to time.

Didn't I read somewhere that this was supposedly a part from 3PO's knee?

Certainly could be a camera mount.
The side that is laying on the glass in that pic is chamfered in or funnel shaped. I could see that on the screen last night.

Just a long shot, so be kind...
Quite a few years ago I posted these pics which led to the Obi emitter being identified as part of the Derwent interconnector system. This part could possibly be the part shown just under the Obi emitter in the first image, don't you think?
The part in the picture looks too grimy and rounded to have been a camera part, and all of the props made using camera bits show them as being in pretty good condition, whereas the interconnector parts are all battered and heat-coloured.
Anyway, that's just my thoughts. Yours optimistically, Phil

Sure looks the part ... perhaps it even fell of Old Ben's Tunesia saber?

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but to me, as an old bicycle mechanic, the photo from the Kurtz archives seems to be showing the crown race from a bicycle headset race (the bearing cup that sits on the top of a bike's forks, where it goes through the frame)
I'm sure that there could have been an old bike (or anything that uses a similar bearing system - a trolley / cart etc) or something kicking around on set that would have easily been butchered for this spare part. It would have been a very easy and cheap part to source.
Here's a photo of a more modern bicycle heat set - it's the bottom crown race cup that I think might have been used for this part - though no idea of a specific make / model.....
What do you reckon?
