MYSTERY OBJECTS

[LizG]

Staple remover?

[David Whipp]

Agree with Liz.

[Gloria]

I'm with Liz as well.

[Pluggy]

That was too easy Stanley.

And after a response like that, I know what's coming next, so :

[Marilyn]

An Italian made mother board..

[PanBiker]

I know but I'll let it ride for a bit.

[Stanley]

It's a piece of Geek's bling.......

[Wendyf]

An Arduino micro-controller development board.

[Stanley]

Bloody hell Wendy! Talk about hidden talents! I'll go with Wendy because she is always right. (Ask Colin....)

[Pluggy]

Yep Wendy got it, I could get picky and want the actual model, but an Arduino is close enough. That particular one is a first generation Arduino Uno.

This is what it looked like before I set GIMP loose on it.



Somebody else's turn.....

[David Whipp]

[PanBiker]

A paraffin heater without it's lid?

[Wendyf]

It also looks as if it is something to do with poultry....part of a brooder?

[Gloria]

A paraffin water warmer for poultry without it's top portion.

[David Whipp]

Panbiker, Wendy and Gloria are all on the money.

It's an incomplete paraffin heater which was used to provide warmth for young chicks.

[plaques]

No I didn't rob a bank.

[David Whipp]

Swag bag crimper.

[Gloria]

Just a guess-----Is it for pressing a seal/metal clip on to money bags-----?????

[Wendyf]

Safe crackers...

[plaques]

I saw this on a second hand stall and money being "no object" lashed out 20p just to keep you lot guessing. What a miserable failure its been. You must all be walking about with little bags of money tide to your belts. Yes its a crimping gadget with a slight difference. The jaws hold a set of male and female dies that emboss a code letter on the strip. So gold nuggets all round.
Next object please.

[David Whipp]

In the spirit of 'whatever it takes', I hereby submit the following, hurriedly photographed after snatching it from the drawer at my side. Apologies that the urgency of the situation meant a less than crystal clear image.

[Whyperion]

Looks like one of a set of four , control knob for fitting on variable resistors on your kitchen LW MW SW radio

[Stanley]

It's a knob.......

[chinatyke]

Looks like one of a set of four...

I don't know how you've reached that conclusion.

Don't knobs usually have many grooves on the inside to grip the spline? This one only has six. I think it is a rubber roller (one of four? ) but don't know what it came off.

[Pluggy]

Its a rubber foot off something, probably one of four......
