Mystery Object

Post by birdman »

I have had my mystery object around the workshop for years and it has travelled with us through two change of premises. Problem is I have no idea what it is but I don't want to throw it away in case it is an important doofer dingle!

That looks like the little suction cup thing that you attach to a halogen bulb so that you can then change it without touching it with your fingers. That's my guess anyway :D

Great answer and thanks to everyone who made suggestions, although some were not quite what I expected but I have to tip my hat to you Tudor Rose :-)

As for JM and his photo, glad I didn't post a photo of two together because goodness knows what would have been suggested. They have a hole in the end piece, maybe for attaching the tassels?

Now that is something I can do without thinking about. You dressed in rubber at a strip joint!
