I guy in an antique shop kept trying to sell me (over several visits in the course of a year) the ugliest knuckler in existence. He finally succeeded, but now what do I do with it? He was (literally) using it as a doorstop. It weights about five kilos, so was good for that. In the course of its life (or possibly death) it had clearly been dropped from a great height on to a hard surface, then rolled down a mountain. Dented everywhere, including a massive dent in the massive brass body, nothing at all will turn or unscrew. Here are some pictures.
