I'm a member of a pensioner's forum. One of the members posted this vaguely familiar item, a couple of days ago. Asking, what is it? It's about 4" long 5/16" diameter. The rounded end is about 3/16 thick with 3 very fine holes through it, the three lobes on the other end have different offsets from centre. I'm sure, I've seen one, some time ago..... :scratch: No-one knows the answer, of course. Just the usual banter. A wimwom for a duck's perch. A cherry plucker popper plunger. Or possibly the part of a crumpet making machine that puts the holes in. Anyone, on here got any ideas? |

The pics should show. All is ok, at this end. Communication has been awkward on here, for me, for some time now. Don't know why. :( |
