What’s That Wednesday
contests, What's That? August 18th, 2010UPDATE: See additional photo below!
Like always, I hope that today’s What’s That item is hard enough to make your head hurt, but not so hard that no one gets it.
How to play:
1. The photo shows a small portion of a larger object.
2. First person to guess the object wins a Junk Drawer magnet and your choice of bacon bandaids, chocolate chip cookie soap or toasted Post-it notes.
Item Info:
1. This item is rather old.
2. It is not mine.
3. It’s very cool.
What’s that?
Since no one got it yet, here’s another picture. Same part of the object, different angle, more revealed.
Does this help?
In other Junk Drawer news:
In June I gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal about the loud Sun Chips bag. A marketing reporter found my blog post and video about the ear-splitting noise the 100% compostable bags make.
The article finally appeared yesterday. I’m quoted in the third to last paragraph. They also used a snippet of my bag demonstration 25 seconds into their video (click the Video tab at the top of the article).
Now go stare at the picture above for an hour and drop your guess in the drawer.
Go on! Get going!
Stumble it!

the on/off switch to a 78 rpm gramophone with the crank handle on the side.

Something that grips, keeps things together. Like the plastic things that keep noisy or quiet potato chip bags closed.

Hmm a catch on which to hook a table cover over a gaming table possibly, that then allows the table to be used for dining. Honestly, I don’t think there is enough coffee in the world this morning to help me figure this one out lol.

We don’t have any idea! So what else is new??
Sorry we haven’t been around much. With Sniffie being sick and some other stuff happening, Mom didn’t do much visiting. Now that Sniffie is getting better, we’ll make Mom visit more.

Now that is cool. I just saw an old Victrola for sale in a shop about an hour a way. Beautiful, but very costly!
