Not a sound.... When geologists investigated the Sgurr they found the remains of trees underneath the igneous rock. Pretty good evidence I always thought!
Next one?

All right, I give in again....

Well it's not an upside-down button mushroom

You're right Cathy. Have a think, you have used these I suspect.

I've used them on Dennis's tail.

You'll have to explain that later Wendy, there's obviously something about grooming horses that I know nothing about!
(You obviously recognised it.....)

Is that a Jays Blue thingy?
I don't know what they are used for...washing machine? Before our time I think...

I have to give it to you, Reckitt's Dolly Blue for enhancing whites in the wash.....
Now then Wendy, Dennis' tail?

( well you know Dennis is a rather senior horse...and maybe he misjudges his "brown bits" on occasion?!)

For rinsing off grey ponies and their tails, used to bring them up lovely.

See ...you learn something every day.
Now...will I retain this information?

I will.......



Part of my beloved clutter... What can you tell me about this.

Compass out of a Spitfire or Hurricane.

Azimuth compass

Too easy I guess, Tiz got it exactly right. I have been told that it was originally fitted in a Hurricane.
Next for shaving?

According to this web page: `The Type P8 Navigational Compass, Ref 6A/0726, was used across numerous aircraft of the British Royal Air Force during WWII, including Spitfire, Hurricane, Mosquito, and Beaufighter.' LINK

For the white tops. What's this then?

.

Film editing guillotine / jig?

18mm or 35mm film splicing kit

I didn't expect it to last long and true to form it didn't. Both PanBiker and StoneRoad are fundamentally correct. A Soligor 8mm splicer. I bought it about 5 years ago from a junk stall for about 20p but at that time I didn't really know what it was only that it was nicely made and took my fancy. So there it sat totally neglected until today when like a shooting star it had a brief moment of fame.

Hard luck P! All that trouble and the Brains get it immediately!



Just to make it a bit harder, I want the exact term for a mark like this.

No takers? Too busy Xmas shopping?

Looks like someone getting out of a wheelchair. Is it a Zimmermark??

Maker's mark?
