[Stanley]

What is it? It's three inches long.....

[Stanley]

No takers?

[Steeplejerk]

Dog whistle

[Stanley]

Spot on Tom. An Acme 'silent' dog whistle to be precise.
Next object?

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Stanley]

This one has foxed you! Clue. you would have found it in a Roman bath house.

[Big Kev]

For scraping olive oil off your skin to clean yourself.

[Stanley]

Yes Kev. The name was a Strigil.
Next object?

[Cathy]

A Strigil. Well that’s something I haven’t heard of.
Let’s hope everyone had their own Personal Strigil. .
.
If not…. Eew!

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Gloria]

A strimmer handle?

[Stanley]

I can see why you thought that Gloria. Look at it the other way round! You or Wendy are favourites for this.

[Wendyf]

Oh! Is it to assist with calving?

[Stanley]

You've got it Wendy! That's why I said that Gloria had it the wrong way round....
Now we need a fresh object.....

[Stanley]

What is it? (Less than an inch in diameter.)

[PanBiker]

A personal seal for use with sealing wax?

[Stanley]

A seal yes Ian, but not for sealing wax. Clue.... my mother used it in the course of her domestic duties. It had a specific use. Another clue. LG was the initial of the name my father used.

[Big Kev]

For embossing a document, rather than sealing one?

[Stanley]

Sorry but no. I shall knock it on the head because it's not very interesting.... It was a stamp that was part of a kit containing Indelible ink and it was for putting initials on handkerchiefs.
I can't imagine it ever getting used!
Next object anyone?

[Stanley]

What are we looking at?

[Stanley]

No takers?

[Gloria]

I’ve seen them, but can’t think what they are.

[Stanley]

Yes, it's an oldie Gloria..... Clue, they were from the US.....

[Tizer]

Part of the mechanism of a clock or gun?

[Stanley]

Sorry but no Peter. Much more simple and a domestic security item.....
