The sticking out bit has to be pressed down to deactivate the locking system?

I'm with Chinatyke.

Swallows eventually went, but today and yesterday we have had loads of different sorts of butterflies.

Is it George Wahington?

That was a good one Stanley.

I thought there were only two, but there are four, so probably a late brood, should go soon hopefully.

All of our swallows have been gone a week or two now apart from two. Last time this happened it was an adult and one of the young, the young one died and adult left. Not absolutely sure how old these two are, but I think we have an adult and youngster again.

Opening a gas meter?

Interesting, never seen that.

Think I'm with Chinatyke.....gypsum??

Are they dropping culled cattle to be burned?

You can just about see the wedge on my pic Stanley, but it wasn't easy to spot. Think we have the right explanation now as to how it works.

Spreading lime?

I can't say if you're right or wrong Stanley, this is just as it was shown and there was no other explaination about it.

I would think it was used for holding planks together. It was quite large if I remember rightly, a good 3ft plus in length. Must put something to gauge size by next time I take one of these.

Think you are going off track so here it is. We saw it in the Vasa Museum. We think it works by being hit from the left which tightens the jaws to clamp.

Think it's just acting as support.

I'm not telling you yet, I'll leave it a bit longer.

I know what this is, but not quite sure how it works, does anyone know what it is and how it works?

Ancestry free this weekend.

Cigarette case?

Yes we are Stanley, done and dusted.

It's a set of pyramid rolls in the maritime museum in Rotterdam. An interesting place to wander around. Rotterdam was more than expected, a nice surprise.

Not a mystery object, but thought it would interest some of you. From the Vasa museum, tool box and tools. Sorry for the reflection.
