MYSTERY OBJECTS

[StoneRoad]

First class picture. Went on to look round your other images. Some really good stuff in there. There is a section on restorations etc: why not put some of them in there?

Thanks, Plaques.
Glad you enjoyed looking around my Ipernity images.

Although it is a long time since I last updated the thread, I do have one in misc history ...

This has reminded me I need to upload some more new images to Ipernity.

[Stanley]

No takers? I'll give it one more day......

MoMa Sculpture Garden in NYC apparently, I doubt if anyone would have got this without Google if they hadn't been. I cheated of course but could only find one photograph. Google images is full of nude Donald Trumps though.

[plaques]

Actually there are Two images on Google Images. I was restricted to 2 seconds apiece. Sheltered life that's me.

Dead right! There is more greenery about than when I did the pic, in about 1980 I think.
Next one?

Was the other one the previous time Stanley put the image on OG Mystery Objects?

Vaguely remember the picture, but what do you expect with a 2 second viewing time, I think it was more to do with Stanley's stocking fetish. Seemed odd to me but there you go.

[Stanley]

The thing that raises a pic above the average is often 'the difference'. The pop stockings jarred with everything else in the picture.....



Try this one.....

[Gloria]

A selection of reamers?

[Stanley]

Sorry no Gloria, I can see why you thought that.

[Tizer]

Are these the star drills of which you write on the Faulty Drier thread?

[Stanley]

Thank god for that, you have it Tiz. They are the Rawldrill bits that were used with a holder to drill holes in masonry before tungsten tipped bits and hammer drills. (I like 'Faulty Drier!)
Next one?

[Tizer]

Talking of tungsten, the recently re-opened wolframite mine at Drakelands near Plymouth has run into difficulties and the police were called due to a dispute with creditors. The owners, Wolf Minerals, are having to look for extra funds.

[Stanley]

Can you tell me his name and what he was famous for?

[Cathy]

Is he an original Smurf model?

[Stanley]

No Cathy, think advertising.....

[Cathy]

Sorry, can't get Smurfs, Gnomes and Dwarfs out of my head.

[Stanley]

[Wendyf]

It's Douglas, he lived with Penelope Keith and played a trumpet..... or was it a saxophone?

[Cathy]

Eh? Please explain..

[Wendyf]

He appeared in adverts for Lurpak butter like this one.

[Stanley]

Wendy has done the explaining Cathy. It is indeed Douglas who appeared in the adverts for Lurpak Butter and I was so taken on with him I got the soft toy that you could have with wrappers from the butter.
Wendy, he played a variety of instruments, I think including a violin?

[Cathy]

Ah it's Danish Butter. It is sold over here but I've never bought it myself. Good one.

[Stanley]

[Cathy]

Who are these 2 characters and what are they made of?
