MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Wendyf]

Oatmeal or wholewheat flour?

[Marilyn]

...taken through the window in the top of your bread-maker...

[Wendyf]

....or just in a glass jar.

[Gloria]

Sand paper??

[hartley353]

Chip board.

[PanBiker]

Huff Pastry topping to your recent Sea Pie

[Stanley]

Wendy got it. Stone ground medium oatleal. Sell by date 2011 but still going strong!

[Stanley]

Try this one......

[Marilyn]

Febby thought it was a carborumbden wheel ( or some such thing...but we googled that and I didn't see anything that looked like it. )

Magnetic paper clip tray?
Non-smokers ash tray ( complete with hole)
Top for fermenting jar...insert tubing through afore-mentioned hole
Or a spare wheel for your Zimmer Frame...

[rossylass]

The end of a barbell?

[Stanley]

Febby is getting very close but not there yet.

[Bodger]

For sharpening carbide tip cutting tools, grind on the flange face?

[Gloria]

Diamond impregnated cup grinding wheel, I only say that as you said "near" on the other one.

[Marilyn]

Another impressive answer, Gloria!
(me eyes spin round in opposite directions when you get all technical...I would love to have been the kid who sat next to you at school because I think I could have learnt a lot...probably stuff I didn't really need to know...but it would have been a lot of fun)

[Stanley]

Bodge was right but Gloria gave the exact description. Like Maz I am impressed, A lot of engineers wouldn't have got that! It was made by Carborundum of Manchester and sits in it's silk lined padded box. Does anyone know what the Carborundum trade mark and motto was?

[Marilyn]

Don't let "illegitimate persons" grind you down?

[Stanley]

I used to have a Carborundum ashtray. The symbol was a Red Indian Chief's head and the motto was 'Hardest and sharpest'.

Try this one. Maz sent it to me.....

[Gloria]

Is it one of those ornamental glass pebbles?
If not, how big is it?

[Marilyn]

Sorry...thought about scale after emailing pic to Stanley...diameter is approx 3inches across.
Not an ornamental glass pebble, but I won't say any more for now.

[Cathy]

Is it a very large button ?

Have I got one?

[Wendyf]

Is it a glass full of lovely red wine?

[Steeplejerk]

Pint of Brandy,so you dont have to waste time pouring a fresh one

[Marilyn]

Wendy got it..... ....glass is Shiraz to be exact.
( and very nice it was too, though I wondered if it would look nicer in a cut crystal glass)

[Wendyf]

I wonder- (hic!) -how I managed to get that- - so quickly....?

[Marilyn]

Well...your Avatar has you staring into a coffee cup, but I think that is just for show!
