MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Steeplejerk]

Parcel of cash for your gas bill

[plaques]

If it ticks put it in a bucket of water. If it wobbles it could be a gyroscope or a mini steam engine. I think we have seen the answer already.

[Big Kev]

I reckon you're spot on with the wobbling. I will also make an informed guess that it has been unpacked.

[Stanley]

That's right of course, my new Stuart Wobbler engine kit....



What is it?

[Stanley]

Sorry Tom, I can't see any connection.....

[Steeplejerk]

Totally forgot how to do it,it's uploaded into image gallery somewhere

[Whyperion]

I have something bladed like that somewhere (or did , might have lost it due to storage issues). Think it was a grapefruit scoop of some kind , but placed on a wooden stool ? Tom's looks like it had been something for melting metals for casting at some time in its life.

[Tizer]

Anything to do with making shoes?

[PanBiker]

Here you go Tom. You copied the right bit but you didn't use the "insert image" tool in the editor, (that's the icon with the little mountain on it). Click that and paste your copied string into the middle of it. Easiest way use CTRL V after copying from the gallery.

[Steeplejerk]

Thanks Ian now then this is in my mates garden and we have no idea what it is/was ,good luck

[Stanley]

Set pan out of a washhouse boiler |Tom but what's my object first!

[Steeplejerk]

Emptying coconuts

[Stanley]

He knows you know, for husking coconuts.....
Next one?

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Big Kev]

End cut pliers? For cutting stuff flush with the surface? Like nails?

[PanBiker]

Agreed Kev.

[Steeplejerk]

Stanley thankyou for solving the mystery of the pot,my friend is now selling his washing machine his good lady is not impressed

[Stanley]

Sorry but no, they aren't end cutting pliers but very specialised cutters.

[Steeplejerk]

Horse hoof trimmers

[Stanley]

Sorry but no Tom....

[PanBiker]

By observation they are War Department issue and it looks like they are available in different sizes. Anything to do with ordnance or projectile arming?

[Stanley]

They're for a surprisingly mundane but demanding job which could well have something to to with ordnance. They are essentially wire cutters, but there's something very special about them.
(We've done them before....)

[Big Kev]

They're adjustable?

[Wendyf]

I think they are piano wire cutters....
