MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

You were getting close Gloria! That China has it though, Used for flaring the female end of a wiped joint between two pieces of lead pipe. Can anyone tell me what the pad was made of that was used to wipe the molten solder smooth?

[plaques]

Mystery object. The wood cone is generally known as a Turnpin. Link. As for what you wipe them with I'll have to ask my OG mole.

[Gloria]

Moleskin.

[Stanley]

You clever little buggers...... Yes, dead right. In latter days a pad of hard corduroy was the favoured material.
Next one?

[Stanley]

Try this one....

[Stanley]

Earth to OG...... are you receiving me?

[chinatyke]

Is it a disc of red wax used to seal documents by impressing an official stamp on it? Like on the bottom of legal documents.

[Stanley]

I can see why you thought that China but sorry, no. It's a more mundane item than that.

[Gloria]

A top off something??? But don't understand the pattern on the top.

[Tizer]

A cap from a 35mm film canister?

[Stanley]

Sorry. Clue, try to imagine it the other way up.

[Stanley]

This going nowhere so I'll knock it on the head. Here's a massive clue for you....

[Big Kev]

[Big Kev]

The latch to open the filter compartment on a vacuum cleaner?
