was part of
what I suppose could be called a candle lantern. I bought that many years ago when there were several long power outages during bad winter weather. It's not been needed for quite a while but looks as though it could be in use agin in the near future if the recent increase in power cuts continues.
It was difficult from the close view to tell exactly what it was. Well done Adrian, Ellen D., Dave and Ragged Robin for either being spot on or very near in their guesses.
Two close views of parts of this week's mystery object:
These are parts of ..... what?
Please leave any guessses in the comments. They will be revealed, along with the answer, next Monday.
Ellen D. wondered how I pick the objects each week. My instant answer wouls be - with difficulty. I am always on the look out for something I think may be suitable. Sometimes I will spot an object when wandering round my home, sometimes when out dog walking. Other times it's a scrabble at the last minute searching for anything I can find.
These days I can rarely guess John - mostof the things you choose are things I don't have so I have no reference point. But I love seeing them and spending a few minutes on your site. Sometimes I think if I could stand on my head I might have a better chance of guessing!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for answering my question, John. My guess this week is a tube of lip balm. My second guess is a glue stick. Have a good week!
ReplyDeletePritstick or the Wilco equivalent.
ReplyDeleteglue stick?
ReplyDeleteSorry for lateness but haven't got a clue. Going to guess a drink or soup flask or perhaps one of those insulated beakers for drinks etc which keep stuff hot or cold.
