Sorry, punch is getting closer but not there.
Cathy, no, it would be used in the home.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it a press? It squeezes something together like embossing a piece of paper with a seal.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it to do with ‘upstairs/downstairs’ type of bells, or tradesmen / delivery boys announcing their arrival at the back of the house.

An early type of stapler?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Sorry no to all of these.... I am trying to think of a clue, you certainly need one. Here's the best I can think of.
The answer sounds like obsolete technology.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Good clues! Is it for taking the stones out of dates?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it a press for putting on those metal button thingies on overalls?

Old School or Bike Bell?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Obviously too good a clue Wendy! Sorry to tell you all that clever clogs Kev has done it again. Many years ago gramophones had fibre needles and this is a little gadget for cutting/ sharpening them.
Next for shaving?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Why would you want to cut a needle was my first reaction, but the answer was so crazy, I decided it must be true.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Cathy, the white things look like shelf brackets - but I'm not sure why the liquorice sticks are there!

Are they frames and hangers for vertical blinds?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Sorry Cathy, I haven't a clue.
David, have a look at THIS for some information about non-steel gramophone needles.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Tize, the long tubes that you called liquorice sticks are called ‘spaghetti straps’ by the staff at the hospital where I volunteer.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Are they to do with paper files Cathy?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
For hanging the patient's data and charts on the end of the hospital bed?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
They look like the innards of loose leaf filing systems - the black tube bits fit over the plastic prongs, often in ledgers or legal document packs with latest information on top but allowing access and additional insertion of pertinant points in a different subject area -they are not called foldex but it is something like that
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Clever girl Wendy
How does it all fit together?
Whyperion- getting close but the tubes (clue) aren’t used that way

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I'm guessing Cathy, because the angled bits remind me of similar metal fasteners I have used in the past, that those push up through punched holes in the paper and the other flat pieces sit on top to provide a locking system. No idea about the spaghetti tubes unless they have an open side and are slid over the edges of the paper to bind them.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I've used binding systems that work like that Wendy..... Good luck with it.
