I would “start” with this shape and extrude it. It would be helpful if you showed front, side, top, bottom views etc… that’s how I’d probably start based on your image ![Apsrt](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/9/c/9cf55e48f7a5df868e47b23762aa6ff00505fe81.jpeg)

Hey Poohbbang,  
I can help:

- Revolve
- Extrude
- Subtract
- Extrude
- Intersect…

@Matt_the-Rathje, @Oregonerd and @poohbbang.  
Here is my version of this item which I modeled a few days ago. To be fair, you need more views to understand the unique shape of this item. I found it a little challenging but fun none the less. Matt, I like your approach and I had not considered using Intersect. Anyway, here it is and hopefully others can chime in and offer ideas or a different/modified approach.

That is definitely true! I like your approach. When I look at the additional pictures I am pretty sure, that starting with a revolve-feature ist the right way - you can clearly see the marks of the lathe-chisel on the part. They first turned a bulb-shaped body on the lathe and flattened the faces for the pocket and the two buttons. The sides got some contour on the mill too.

I think this is as close as I can get, without holding the part in my hands.
