THOMPSON" ETCHED IN THE WOOD WHICH I AM ASSUMING IS THE SIGNATURE. FOUND A PIECE WHICH I BELIEVE GOES WITH IT AND HAVE ADDED PICTURES.  THIS PIECE SITS IN THE HOLE ON THE PLATFORM OF THE WHEEL AND THE SMALLER PIECE GOES INTO THIS PIECE.  THE BOTTOM OF THIS LARGER PIECE IS DAMAGED AND PROBABLY HAS TO BE RESTORED TO FIT INTO THE HOLE.  YOU CAN SEE IN ADDITIONAL PICTURES.
