If you reply to this message, your message will be sent to all the people on the list, not just the author of this message. --------------- Hello SHCG, Three more 'mystery' objects have come to light during Gallery Oldham's on-going rationalisation project. The first has a 2 ft (600mm) blade. No idea what it was used for - do you have one in your collection? The second is almost certainly some kind of string, cotton or twine dispenser. I'm guessing for shop use, given the decorative base. Again, do you have one? The third, a very large set of wooden tongs 2ft 6" (750mm) might have had any number of uses. Laundry, dyeing, tanning etc. Any firmer identification would be most welcome. Thanks in advance for your time.
