MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

Never seen anything like it Cathy! Could it be for tenderising steaks?

[Gloria]

No idea, sorry.

[Wendyf]

I agree with Stanley that it's a meat tenderiser.

[Stanley]

We wait for Cathy's verdict....

[Cathy]

I found images of some other meat tenderizers, of the same design. Some metal and some wood, some had a mixture of both.
This particular one was described as an Antique/ Primitive Meat Tenderizer.
So Yes it is a Meat Tenderizer. (Doesn’t bear thinking about the bacteria on that wood, back in those days.)

[Stanley]

There you are Wendy, we were right!
Now someone will have to think of another object!

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Stanley]

No takers? I thought this would be snapped up!

[Tizer]

Stick one on a vertical surface and hang your kitchen towel on it by pushing the corner of the towel into the hole. We've been using them for several decades!

[Stanley]

Dead right Peter. I thought it was too easy but it must have puzzled someone!

[Tizer]

Here's a mystery object. What are they and what is their significance (ignore the kitchen tray!).

Are they from an advent calendar?

[Tizer]

Well that lasted no more than 30 minutes! An advent calendar, as the man says. My sister-in-law sent it to me. Her partner is ex-RAF. They (the planes) were rather squashed into the calendar spaces and today I spent some time dipping them into very hot water, bending them into correct shape and then dipping them in cold water. I'm thinking of flying them to Mar-a-Lago, snatching Trump and dropping him into the Caribbean Sea.

I had a Laithwaites Wine advent calendar, a third bottle of wine for 23 days plus a full bottle of Prosecco on the 24th!

It was very enjoyable! I have generous friends with an excess of air miles!

Oh love it.

So now we need another object..... I shall go and have a furtle.



Where is this? You have seen it before. Another of the strange places I took my camera...

[Gloria]

Down a mine?

[Stanley]

Close but no cigar. Not underground Gloria. You've seen it before....

[Big Kev]

The flues, during inspection of the Simon Schwab stack at Middleton?

[Stanley]

Yes Kev. Exactly. I got myself into some funny places!
I shall have another furtle.

[Stanley]

What are we looking at here?

[Stanley]

No takers? You've seen it before. Clue, connected to pottery manufacture.....
