MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

Sorry Cathy but no. The key thing about them is that they are made of transparent glass.....

[Big Kev]

Sight glasses, in the base of a drip feed lubricator, that allowed you to see how fast the drops of oil were falling from the reservoir?

[Stanley]

Yes Kev. exactly, well done.
Now we need another object!

[Big Kev]

Here you go, what is it?

[Gloria]

The rear end of a glass duck?

[Big Kev]

The rear end of a glass duck?

Very close but not a duck, or glass. Think 'the other side of the world' for some of us...

There's a bonus pat on the back if you can identify what it's made of.

[Big Kev]

I'll drop another clue in the morning.

[Cathy]

Is it a Kiwi Bird?

[Big Kev]

Is it a Kiwi Bird?

It is Cathy

Would you like to take a guess at what metal it's made from?

[Cathy]

My guess would be Copper.

[Stanley]

That was a good one! Well spotted Cathy!
My guess for the metal would be silver.......

[Big Kev]

My guess would be Copper.

Nay

[Big Kev]

That was a good one! Well spotted Cathy!
My guess for the metal would be silver.......

Right colour but nay.

[Gloria]

It’s lovely and a very good mystery object. Is it brass?

[Big Kev]

Nay. It's a lightweight metal.

[Stanley]

Then let's try aluminium.....

[Gloria]

Was just about to say that Stanley.

[Stanley]

Seems logical Gloria. If it's right I gift the guess to you....

[Big Kev]

That's the one, aluminium
It was a gift from one of P's relatives in NZ.

[Stanley]

Gloria got that one just before I did....

[Stanley]

What are these?

[Gloria]

Spacers for laying tiles?

[Big Kev]

Are they wooden shoe nails?

[Stanley]

Sorry Gloria but no. I'd say no Kev but you are on the right track.

[Tripps]

To plug the holes in clogs when the old nails are removed?
