MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Gloria]

I'd be just guessing Stanley, you've got me completely stumped.

[chinatyke]

Elland Mill? Ellenroad?

[Stanley]

That's the one China! Really surprised Gloria missed that one!



What's this?

[chinatyke]

I know! Only because it is mentioned in another post!

[Stanley]

Right China. Let's see how widely others interrogate the site!

[Stanley]

A deathly hush. I think you'd better tell them China.....

[chinatyke]

There was a broken casting in one of the links from the parallel motion so I had to make a replacement.
Installing the Whitelees engine at Ellenroad as described in Steam engines and waterwheels topic.

I think everyone was just keeping quiet!

[Stanley]

Right China, well, it was worth a try!
Next one anyone?

[Gloria]

I want to know exactly what this is a part of.

It surely has to be the front grill from an old tractor.... the blue colour suggests a Fordson??

[Gloria]

You are very near Wendy, can you be more specific?

[Wendyf]

No!

[Gloria]

I'll give it until tomorrow lunch, then reveal all.

[Stanley]

Dexta?

[Gloria]

Near enough Stanley, it's a Ford Super Dexta

For some reason they are upside down.......help.

[Stanley]

Don't fret Gloria, they are OK when you open them.
The Super Dexta was after my time!
Now I shall have to puzzle out another one....

[plaques]

Meantime while Stanley is puzzling why have I put this picture on OG

[Gloria]

Is it the first self service store?

[Stanley]

She's good isn't she Ken. I think she has nailed it!

[Wendyf]

With social distancing measures in place!

[plaques]

I've got to give it to Gloria. No point in pulling any more teeth.
I put it on just to add to Tripps velcro memory. The first Piggy Wiggly self service store.

[Stanley]

What's this?

[Stanley]

Earth to OG......

[chinatyke]

Is it something to do with putting an embossed design around leather shoes or saddles?

[PostmanPete]

Is it the part of a sewing machine that holds the needle? (I seem to remember something similar on my Nana's Singer machine when I was a kid)
