I found this is a garage full of junk, it's 116.5 cm wide, 33cm high at the edges, and 27cm at the center
is made of brass, has a wooden top rail on a piano hinge.
Markings on the frame are A1124 and 427 153

I expect it might be a top hung truck windscreen? there is a lip on the outer edge.so the sort you push open to get some air in the cabin...

Just curious really...
Cheers.
