Here is a rather unusual looking object when viewed from this angle. They are not used much nowadays unless you have not quite got into the 21st century or like me, you are bringing old fashioned ...err ... things up to date.

My brother Paul died suddenly last September.
His death completely silenced me on social media. I wanted my next public

Looks like a cylon!
ReplyDeleteIt does look a bit dangerous but it is quite ordinary really.
ReplyDeleteIs it an attachment for an old hoover, OR, is it an old fashioned computer mouse? Actually it does look like something out of Star Wars!
ReplyDeleteCard reader of some sort?
ReplyDeleteMA-J, you are quite close, you do put something in the slot but it is not electronic. You have to realise it is laying face down and you are seeing the top.
ReplyDeleteAAhhh, I'll just slide another comment in here -- I think I might know. Of course, as you say, the view is a little different to what one might expect. Does it have, I wonder, anything (even if only remotely) to do with what you discovered recently in those boxes you've just acquired?
ReplyDeleteKaybee, I think you have a slight advantage, knowing what I have been up to recently, but you have got the picture. It also came with the boxes and dates from around 1971.
ReplyDeleteI haven't commented yet, because I have no idea what it is, though from the clues K gave and you in your last remark, I'm going to guess it maybe a hand held slide picture viewer. Kay is with us and we're all intent upon seeing this treasure trove of family photos you have found.
ReplyDeleteKaybee is right, but Chris is the only one to say exactly what it is. Congratulations to both of you. It is very old fashioned looking despite the decade it came from, looking rather 50s in style. I was setting it down on the desk one day when I realised it looked like something out of the BBC Dr Who series, so I thought it may make a good picture quiz.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh - I remember those! But mine was sort of blue and square so I just didn't recognise this at all!
