What's not to love about eBay and the things people flog on there?  This item I discovered during a covert surfing session whilst I was supposed to be working.  I'm still supposed to be at it and if anybody comes I may have to flick back to a spreadsheet or something official looking.  Please bear with me here dear reader...

This Item is the TOP 3 metres of an original old telegraph pole which I rescued from a Lincolnshire farmers field a few years back. The field is now part of his farm, but it used to be a local railway siding that served the community, and the nearby bomber air field in the 2nd world war.
The exact age of the item is unknown to me as I am not an expert in such things, but I am sure you all are , so please e-mail me with your questions about all the various markings including where and what to look for,
I have mounted the pole inside a steel tube, welded to a car wheel (see listing) and due to it's current size ( the bottom part of the pole was rotten) it can be displayed inside or outside.
