MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Stanley]

4" wide and 8" high Gloria....

[Big Kev]

Is it a bit of dense polystyrene packaging?

[Stanley]

No Kev, solid cast iron.....

[Cathy]

Anything to do with keys or door-ware?

[Stanley]

Sorry Cathy but no. Clue, it's domestic.....

[Gloria]

Is it a weight of some sort?

[Stanley]

We3ll done Gloria you have it! It's the base of a cast iron weight that was used on old fashioned scales in the kitchen.
Now we need the next object.....

[Gloria]

That was a wild guess

[Stanley]

Not so wild Gloria, it was right!



What is it and where?

[PanBiker]

Looks American, will guess it's on what remains of route 66.

[Big Kev]

I'm with Ian, Rainbow Bridge, Kansas?

[Stanley]

You're both right. The last 'Rainbow Bridge' on the old Route 66 in Kansas.
Now we need another object....

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Gloria]

Is it a carbide tip?

[Stanley]

No Gloria. Here's a clue, I always carry one in my left hand trouser pocket.......

[Big Kev]

Money clip?

[Wendyf]

Dog whistle?

[Stanley]

Well done Wendy.... it is indeed a shepherd's whistle. I am never without one just for old times sake.....
Now we need a new object!

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Gloria]

Is it the roof inside an underground reservoir?

[Stanley]

You're too close4 for me to ignore Gloria. It's the cast iron vaulting at the crossover of the mid point of the original Standedge railway tunnels. The Directots of the company held a celebratory dinner here in 1871. (LINK)

Now we need another object.

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Gloria]

A book press?

[PanBiker]

[Stanley]

Letter press actually but that was near enough Gloria. Well done!
