Have we had this before? I seem to remember way back someone saying they were weights that were put on the tips of cows horns to make them turn down, or was that something else?

Yes China, it's an oldie and Wendy has it exactly right. They are the tins that filled a tray which was used by the tacklers to pay out wages in the mill every week.
Next one?

Wow! I never expected that to be the right answer!

See! You are cleverer than you thought!

I have one that I will put up shortly.

Here is an object found by my granddaughters on the path coming off Penyghent the other week. They kept it to themselves for a while as they delightfully though they had found a fairies magic wand! They eventually handed it over to see if I could make it work, that in itself was a magic moment!

What is it and can you name the maker.

Dog whistle?

Sorry Maz nothing to do with dogs, it's very useful though.

It looks like a miniature sharpening steel to me.....

Is it for cleaning debris out of the soles of climbing/hiking boots?
It looks like you could tie a string through the top and stake your pet tortoise, so it can only roam so far.

I'm dying to know what it is...

Love the tortoise stake suggestion...

For striking a light?

I'm with David, it's a flint match thingy.

Well done for observation Stanley, it is a sharpening steel, I wont let it go on long but why so small and who made it?

The Fairies made it for the Fairy Butcher.

Someone took note of the preamble to the image. It's a bit more wordly than that though.

Something like one of these? Emergency fire lighter

Might get one - why be without it for 99p?

PS - How on earth can they make it, pack it, ship it from Malaysia, and make any profit?

Stanley has already sussed what it is Tripps but I want to know why so small and the maker.

It must be a pocket knife sharpener....

I'll come clean, Stanley has the function and Wendy has the use. It's made by Victorinox manufacturers of the original Swiss Army Knife. It's supplied with some models of the knife and is available as an accessory. It is now in service with my CK pocket knife and can put a decent edge on the blade.

What exactly is it?

Could it be for resting your wrist on while writing script etc, so you don't smudge?

Or could it be a spacer of some sort?

Sorry Dearie..... Try again.

Is it some kind of abrading stone?

An eraser for `correcting' voting slips when voters make the wrong choice?

Is it a key for locking a wheel onto a shaft?
