[Cathy]

A childrens stamp, hopefully for reward.

[Big Kev]

Nay Cathy.

[plaques]

Well its sat on a very big hand. The spindle looks like some hexagon drive with a groove that could hold a clip. So guessing its a control knob of an oven or heater.

[Cathy]

Is it part of a game?

[Big Kev]

Nay and nay. I thought this would be an easy one. Keep guessing

[Cathy]

A Badge?

[Big Kev]

It is, to a point, but it has a functional purpose too. Consider what the creature is...

[Whyperion]

I remember seeing Alligator Grips, cannot recall what for though ( one was a type of hammered in fixing to join two pieces of wood together adjacently parallel ?)

[Wendyf]

Hang on a mo whilst I contort myself.......

Well done Wendy, it is a plastic rivet for the heel strap on a pair of Crocs. I had to buy some, several years ago for a repair job, I still have some left.

Apart from my 'standard' wandering about the house Crocs I have these very stylish 'going out' pair

[Gloria]

What is this?

[Stanley]

It's got me foxed. (I would never have got the Croc clip either....)

[Gloria]

You’ll know this Stanley.

[Wendyf]

Is it a rivet press?

[Gloria]

No Wendy, but I know why you think that.

[Cathy]

Does it hold a nail in place, for straight hammering.

[Stanley]

Cathy sounds about right but if she is I have never seen one Gloria.

[Gloria]

No Cathy is far from right.

[Stanley]

Is it for punching holes in tin plate?

[Gloria]

No Stanley, if no one gets it, I’ll give you a clue tomorrow. You do know what it is, you are very familiar with it.

[Stanley]

Sorry Gloria, it isn't ringing any bells. I have no doubt from what you say I will be kicking myself later!

[Gloria]

A bit more of the image, sorry about the quality.

It looks like a leather punch now Gloria....
