MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Gloria]

I had no idea till you gave the clue, looked it up, and now I know.

[Stanley]

So tell us Gloria, it's such a boring subject!

[Tizer]

It looks like a karst limestone landscape, weathered into the strange shapes by rain, wind and running water.

[Stanley]

Could vert well be true Peter. I am not expert enough to know. I#m sure Gloria will sort us shortly....

[Gloria]

Stone Town. https://www.tripadvisor.co.nz/Attractio ... tment.html

[Stanley]

Well done Gloria, exactly right.
Next one?

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Stanley]

No offers?

[Steeplejerk]

Braille??

[Stanley]

No, sorry Tom....

[Gloria]

Looks very old, made of brass, that’s about it.

[Steeplejerk]

Set into an oak" table??".

[Big Kev]

Would it be under the dining table?

[Tizer]

It looks like `X marks the spot' so I suggest it's a location marker of some kind.

[PanBiker]

As it's not your object and have used a picture from online, I will relate what I found about the very same image. Apparently it's a servant call button, set into the floor and operated by foot.

[Stanley]

Kev was getting there and yes, it's a call button for a servant.
Next one?

[Stanley]

What are they?

[Wendyf]

Hoof studs?

[Stanley]

Commonly called caulks Wendy and these are posh ones, they have tungsten carbide inserts.
You are of course dead right (and Gloria will be gnashing her teeth because I bet she knew as well!) Well done, next one?

[Gloria]

Mordax supplied those from their base in Altham near Padiham. And yes Gloria was gnashing her teeth.

[Stanley]

Hee hee! I knew you would be. That bloody Wendy beat you to it.
Give us the next one.

[Wendyf]

I haven't heard them called caulks before, but then I never needed to use them. Sorry Gloria!
