A button that has lost it’s decorative top?

Very good answer but wrong I’m afraid Kev.

Sorry wrong.

Photo taken looking vertically down on a candle in its candlestick holder?

Noooo, but it is looking vertically down on something, so I’ll give you that bit.

A Bunsen burner?

No Cathy, no where near.

At first I thought it was your empty wine glass but changed my mind! Is it a light bulb?

A spring retaining cap. slip it over a central pin which has a flat on it, compress the spring, turn the cap. and hey presto.

In Malaya and Indonesia they say "durian jatuh sarung naik".

I can't vouch for this personally you understand.

"durian jatuh sarung naik".
Only on Oneguy.....

Is it the recline button on your adjustable chair?

None of you are right, I’ll leave it a bit longer, struggling to think of a clue.
Love your comment on the wine glass Wendy

The 'cloth' in the pic looks to be denim. Is it clothing related? A rivet from a pair of jeans or is it bigger than that?

Haha, the denim is my jeans, I have the object wedged between my knees so you cant see the whole of it.

Here is the opposite view

A make-up brush?

Spot on Stanley.

That was a good one

I thought you'd like to see my denim clad knees! What is it?

The underside of your Wilkinson sword dome shaving brush?

Good one Cathy , I’d thought something similar.

Yes Cathy, you're right. It wasn't until I printed the pic on the page that I realised you could read the maker's name!

Try this one....



What is it and what's the connection with J R Tolkien?

Again, a deathly hush. I shall give it one more day.

I know what it is and why it's connected with Tolkien. A related species has been in the news here because the first one in the UK was found in Surrey recently and it's a threat to our crops. But I'll let other members have a go at pinning it down (pun intended!).

South American Stink Bug, named after J. R. R. Tolkien’s Nazgûl
