Mystery Objects, No. 2.

For answers to the Mystery grouping posted last week, check out the previous entry to this one.

Presenting: a repeat passel of puzzling parts to peruse and postulate upon.




#8: Approx. 1" (3cm)


#9: Approx. 5" (12cm)

#10: Approx. 3" (7.5cm)


#11: Approx. 3" (7.5cm)


#12: Approx. 8" (20cm)


#13: Approx. 2" (4.5cm)


#14: Approx. 2" (4.5cm)


Perhaps a slightly easier grouping than last week... I know a few will be easy to work out. But lovely objects all anyway. Enjoy, and let the guessing/researching/dreaming/puzzling begin.

  6. Perusal and postulation complete, oh Scheming Stuffsmith–––

    #8. This could certainly be some sort of dried natural formation--barnacles? sponge? coral polyps? (but then I don't know coral atoll...). I'm going to guess, however, that its more likely a handmade present from your twins that's been lost among the tools on your workbench--a dirty, crusty Rice Krispy treat??

    #9. A sad little metal moose, clearly petrified...

    #10. Almost certainly a commemorative corkscrew--but who drank the bottles of Cliquot from the gift set?? Sigh...

    #11. Petrified tubifex (sludge worm), very angry about his condition (tubivexed).

    #12. Training bra for a little metal doll... An iron maiden for the iron maiden??

    #13. Petrified guck on purified water bottle cap, now putrefied.

    #14. Gilded operculum (front door) of an enormous Australian snail? Nah. It's one of a set, I hope, of metal pasties used by the aforementioned little doll after she'd consumed waaaay too much champagne (of all the veuve!)...
