Does anyone know what this might be?
I found it in the cockpit. I have no idea where it came from.

Its engraved EDSON and you can't tell/don't realize that it's the cap nut for the hub on your steering wheel?

I never read it that way.
To be honest, I had just buttoned up the boat and was scrambling to get back to my car because a storm was about to unload on me. I snapped this pic in a hurry.
This was the original photo I snapped and I couldn't read all the letters until I lighted it up in Photoshop. I never really looked at the photo before I uploaded it.

Re: Does anyone know what this might be?
Hey don't worry. I saw the N and S and E and thought it was off a compass... for a moment
Alright, come on, I bet a few of you out there thought so too, right? Anyone?

That's what I thought too. I had already covered my steering wheel so that's why it didn't occur to me that it might be off the wheel.

It is the key to the Flux Capacitor... use it with caution!
