MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

I can see why you thought that but no Gloria. That wasn't it's prime function.
Clue, it's an automotive spare....

[Gloria]

Knob off a car window wind down handle?

[Stanley]

You're getting close Gloria. It used to be an essential part of a car's door but as designs changed it became redundant.

[Steeplejerk]

Knob on the quarter light window ?

[Stanley]

No Tom far more important than that. Another clue, easily visible from the outside of the car.

[Cathy]

Is it to do with an Aerial for the car radio

[Stanley]

No Cathy, concentrate on the door!

[Steeplejerk]

Door locking button ?

[Gloria]

Is it anything to do with the door hinge?

[Tizer]

Door mirror attachment? The bit that allowed the mirror to be moved to get the optimum view.

[Stanley]

Well done Gloria!



The brass insert goes in the middle of the hinge and can be replaced when it wears. This example was on a Morris Cowley.
Next one?

[Gloria]

Bit of a guess really

[Stanley]

Guess or not, It was correct!

[Gloria]

What is this, and no looking it up

[Stanley]

I think I know that one because I have seen it during my searches for new objects for the topic. I shall keep stum.....

[Gloria]

Stanley

[Cathy]

Sorry Gloria…. No Idea

[Gloria]

I’ll leave it on a bit to see if anyone knows.

[Stanley]

Clue, it's for imitating something......

[Gloria]

If no one gets it by lunch I will say what it is.

[Stanley]

I think it's for imitating the sound of Starlings.

[Gloria]

Spot on Stanley.

[Stanley]

I only know because I saw it when I was looking for a mystery object.....



What is this?

[PanBiker]

Is it the Chines or Japanese equivalent of the Tree of Life?

[Stanley]

Sorry Ian, no.
