It's about 18 cm long, both ends screw off and has three round plastic circles on it.

 

TIA

Hi All,

 

Many thanks for the ongoing duscussion. Have been away for a few days for a very sad family occasion. There have been so many valid suggestions and I like the toilet roll holder, but what would the 2 plastic rings be for? 

 

BTW, it doesn't match the toilet roll holders in the house, and they're still the originals, so there's no reason for it to be here if indeed it is a toilet roll holder.

 

Love the funnies  stawka, Dave and padi - brought some much needed laughter.

The 3 rings could be spacers so that the roll runs easier and they may have been added and weren't part of the original setup.
Or one may have been a washer for the outside,one for the inside of the holder and the other one on the other end with the roll in between so that they stop it running against the holder and stop it running of the other end.

Maybe at some stage it was going to be changed but then wasn't so was just put in the cupboard.

Thanks sb, but you can't fix the rings into position. Please don't think I'm being argumentative, just trying to clarify. Cheer.

They don't have to be fixed as long as they can't slide of,(which is what the end bits are for as they are bigger).
The roll could then roll between two of the sliders.
Or as I stated,(the plastic rings aren't part of the original setup and were only added afterwards as an experiment).
IMHO the single post toilet roll holder is the most likely,(it could off course be used to hang other things on as long as they are not to heavy).
