MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

Exactly right David..... It was amazing how long the soles could last even though almost all the edge of the sole was plugs!
Next Object?

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Stanley]

Any takers?

[Gloria]

No idea

[Stanley]

You've see it before.....

[Steeplejerk]

Oil can springs to mind

[Stanley]

Well done Tom. It's the soldered connection of the spout to an old hand made oilcan....
Next for shaving?

[Stanley]

What is it? The shape is the clue.....

[Gloria]

Is it a spur?

[Stanley]

I can see why you thought that Gloria but no. It's a domestic item.......

[Cathy]

Any measurements Stanley?

[Stanley]

Quite right Cathy! That section of the object is about 2" long.

[Wendyf]

Is if the handle of a kitchen tool that you need to grip, like a tin opener?

[Wendyf]

It makes me think of my dad's old hair clippers.

[Stanley]

You got it Wendy, the second. It's the handle of an old pair of hand hair clippers.

[Wendyf]

That has brought back a few memories!

[Stanley]

Nice.....

[Stanley]

What is it? (6" long)

[PanBiker]

It's the barrel of a miniature cannon.

[Stanley]

Sorry Ian but no, it is a particular type of gun....

[Tripps]

A bit harsh perhaps I'd say - it's been described as such a few times.

I'll try "carronade"

[PanBiker]

If it walks like duck and quacks like duck it probably is a duck.

Splitting hairs in my view.

It looks like a cannon and probably sounds like one if put into use so in my book it is a cannon.

[Stanley]

You may well think so and I will give it to you Ian but the fact remains that it is not a cannon but a Carronade.
Now we need another object.

[PanBiker]

You have had this one before:



I want a proper description of how it is used.

[Gloria]

Is it a glass cutter?
