Doug - I'll bet that is for a pin to keep the crank from falling out of the case. It'd be a nice feature for one who uses one of those machines a lot.

That makes perfect sense, Martin. Thanks for your comments. Maybe I should keep it. : )

... or maybe it was in a museum setting to prevent people from stealing the crank. Reproducers and cranks, always an easy target in public displays.
