Guess what this is a photo of!

[pacanis]

OK,
What's this little doohicky?

 

[Buck]

A wire retainer from inside an electrical plug.

 

[pacanis]

Nope. More common than that, but it is a part of somerthing.

 

[Buck]

Part of a drawer slide.

 

[pacanis]

Nope. More visible in its use than that.

 

[Buck]

Is it used in some sort of slide mechanism?

 

[pacanis]

It most certainly is.

 

[Buck]

Is it part of a mandoline?

 

[pacanis]

Listen to the mandoline rain.... oops, that mandolin is spelled differently isn't it?
Nope. I would have to say that more people have come into contact with this than a mandoline, or a mandolin for that matter

 

[expatgirl]

how about a ziploc baggie slider lock?

 

[pacanis]

Why expatgirl..... Way to go!
I saw one laying on the floor one day. Had to ask someone what it was. Tucked it away in case I ever needed an oddball pic that I didn't hunt up on the internet, one day.

you're up! and here it is as most people see it.

Woof!Woof! Thanks, Pacanis---I guessed at this one because my hubby is home---but I've already taken a picture of what I want to post--will probably be guessed in 3 sec. but if you all will be patient---thank goodness it's going to be beddy bye for most of you soon and morning for me you should not be kept long in waiting when you wake up. I don't know--- I was laying in bed with my hubby and I suddenly jumped up and he said "what's wrong---I said Nothing I think that I've guessed the DC photo and I've got to post --yeah he thinks I'm nuts but he loves me anyway--I guess this would be called a "DC addiction" hahaha--anyway I wasn't about to pull one of them off of the bags I had as you can't get them here--I might have in Texas but not here.......so hopefully by the time you guys wake up tomorrow with a cup of coffee and turn your computers on I will hopefully have posted something--I love this thread!!

Sorry this is a bit blurry but what is this critter and what is it used for?">

 

[expatgirl]

If anyone can tell me how to make this photo larger please let me know. The picture comes from a 35mm camera--we used photo shop and this is the largest my husband knew of how to make it. Please help if anyone can. Sorry it's so small but you still might be able to guess anyway.

hi expat,

try to do it as an attachment... I think, it's just the preview picture from image shack, i have the same problem with flickr...

edit: delete the german ;o)

It's hard to see from the small picture, but it kind of looks like a hedgehog boot (mud) scraper.

[expatgirl]

Barbara L, right animal but not a boot scraper--that's what I was most worried about that noone would be even able to tell what the animal is---let's just say that this thing comes apart in layers

Thanks, Cara, but my husband said that he tried that---it's a full-sized photo from our camera---I apogize

 

[pacanis]

I clicked on it thinking it would enlarge and the DC forum's index page opened up in another window

Is it a stationary fish scaler where you move the fish back and forth on the teeth?

 

[expatgirl]

Sorry, Pacanis, it isn't

 

[Uncle Bob]

A type of hedgehog used to control insects in a garden etc.
