#10 Isn't that off a farthing?
They must be too easy, Snafu, if I can guess this many.
Oops, I almost missed this post!
ReplyDeleteGreat objects, snafu! I agree with ChrisJ on all the above - no idea what #1 is. I am sure #6 is a brazil nut, and #4 could be a beer bottle cap? This is fun!
Oh, now I think #4 could be a Yale key!
ReplyDeleteIs that it? Can't you even tell me the brand of the gum? I will wait a few days to see if any more responses arrive.
ReplyDeleteWrigleys...?!
ReplyDeleteHey snafu -- when are you going to give us the answers??
ReplyDeleteOK there seems to be an undewhelming response, so here goes:
ReplyDelete1 = a buttoncell battery
2 = a Mentos Gum
3 = a bronze thrupenny bit pre-decimal UK
4 = an old fashioned Yale door key
5 = a safety pin
6 = a Brazil nut
7 = a pen nib
8 = a pencil from an Irish hotel
9 = the end of the same pencil
10= a historic coin, a 1942 UK farthing
Congratulations ChrisJ and Kaybee, you got almomost all of them.
