MYSTERY OBJECTS

[StoneRoad]

Pipecleaners....

[Stanley]

That's it, pipe cleaners. I'll have to get my thinking cap on and make it a bit more difficult.



It's a trade mark, but what is it on?

[Tripps]

Pipe cleaners? Are you sure I've just had another look, and still think it's a piece of the Great Barrier Reef. Or perhaps an early Damien Hirst.

[Whyperion]

I thought ceramics and Beyer & Bock used a B and reversed B mark , ( but not the intertwined ones that I can find at present time ).

[StoneRoad]

Basildon Bond - as in posh letter writing paper

[Stanley]

Sorry, you've not got there yet. Clue, any old firebeater would recognise this immediately!

[Whyperion]

Its not the average wicker carpet beater head ?

[StoneRoad]

I wonder if it is a ceramic / pottery mark?

[StoneRoad]

Brock's Benefits?

[Stanley]

Sorry, none of you have got it. It's the trademark of Budenberg's, Makers of the best pressure gauges in the world. They invented the Bourdon Tube pressure gauge and for many years these were standard equipment on all steam boilers. How about this one...

[Whyperion]

When is google's search engine that can match photos accross the internet coming in ?

[Stanley]

That would make it too easy! Any offers? It's a very famous trade mark.
Clue, think Huddersfield.

[EileenDavid]

Trade mark looks like a cooling tower but isn't Huddersfield famous for wool manufacturing it looks like the trade mark that was on a ball of wool. Eileen

Hopkinsons (part of Weir pumps)

[Stanley]

That's it, Hopkinson's, best valves and boiler fittings ever. World standard in their day.



Budenberg entrance in 1988. When WW1 started Budenbergs were, like many other firms with German names, under suspicion. They were originally called Schaeffer and Budenberg and the government made them change the name. When they had the brass plates made they put the original name on the bottom under the new approved name.

[Whyperion]

Most recent image looks like a cross section through a GWR safety valve cover.

You're getting too good at this. I shall have to have a think.

[Whyperion]

toothbrush for robots

[Stanley]

Keep trying......

[Bodger]

Are they , teeth, serrations, bristle, or threads ?, it looks a little like some form of tap, or something for teasing, grinding etc.
