MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

I see there are no takers. Perhaps I am being too picky! This is a box hinge. One leg of the pincers passes through a socket in the other leg instead of being simply laid on it as usual. Only found in blacksmith made tools. A very clever and if you don't know how it was done, puzzling way of making. Only used in high end tools as it was a complicated process.
Next object?

[Stanley]

Where are we?

[Gloria]

Nazi parade ground Nuremberg.

[Big Kev]

Same as Gloria but I will add Zeppelin Field.

[Gloria]

Same as Gloria but I will add Zeppelin Field.

I agree Zeppelin Field.

[Stanley]

Exactly right. Well done. You lot are getting too knowledgeable. How many people would immediately recognise that.....



What is it and where?
(Clue, Berlin associations.)

[PanBiker]

Is that the one you went for a sail on when you were stationed in Germany. Was it the Jaconda?

[Big Kev]

A Pirate class yacht, originally used in the 1936 Olympics, at the British Berlin Yacht Club in the 1950s?

[Stanley]

Perfect answer but it's a Star Boot from the Olympics on the Havel....
I give up! Find us a new object!

[Tizer]

Let's see if anyone can tell us what this is without first using reverse image search! I'll be back online tomorrow morning.

[Stanley]

An enlarged image of an electrical connection? A razor springs to mind.

[Gloria]

I’m with Stanley.

[Tizer]

No, nothing to do with electrics or connections.

[Big Kev]

Exhaust pipes?

[Tizer]

Yes, that's a good start, Kev, but what do they belong to?

[PanBiker]

Jet Ski?

[Big Kev]

A motorbike? It looks like the rear end of one up the other way.

[PanBiker]

That was on my radar also Kev. There have been a number of triples over the years. Yamaha when I was biking first time.

[Big Kev]

I reckon it's this one, Triumph ST from 2005

[Tizer]

Spot on, Kev. The Triumph Sprint ST 1050 introduced in 2005. I hope this will be legible!

[Big Kev]

good stuff

[Big Kev]

A recent purchase. What is it?

[Stanley]

A junction box for what look like USB leads but I haven't a clue what it's for.....

[Big Kev]

You're right about the usb leads, it has a specific name.

[Stanley]

Beyond me Kev.....
