Very well done!

Susan Leigh		08-Sep-2006 07:56
interesting, ......but I havent a clue..??

Guest		08-Sep-2006 06:28
really a tough one, i never think about this.

You keep these on your dining room table? Are they next to the suturing implements? LOL Only in a doctor's home :) Nicely done macro!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 23:58
Ouch:-) thanks Joan

Cindi Smith		07-Sep-2006 23:52
Would never have guessed. I thought it was some sort of shears.

Ok.. This was a tough one. This is an hemostat, which is used in surgery to control bleeding. It is now being used to hold matches to light the candles on my dining room table!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 23:32
Hair tongs perhaps?

Eckhart Derschmidt		07-Sep-2006 21:56
First I thought of tweezers, but what would they do "sitting on your dining room table"....

Guest		07-Sep-2006 21:53
a nut cracker?

northstar37		07-Sep-2006 21:51
nut crackers? :-0

laine82		07-Sep-2006 21:35
Nup, got me !!

J. Scott Coile		07-Sep-2006 20:59
Old pinking shears??? Cool!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 20:26
Some kind of tongs?!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 20:10
hmmm...suppose one could use it as a hair clip, whatever it's real purpose is

Guest		07-Sep-2006 19:44
2 dull knives?

joanteno		07-Sep-2006 19:05
Time for a hint - the original function involved contact with the human body.

Tomasz Dziubinski - Photography		07-Sep-2006 18:51
Definitely nutcracker :)

Lee Rudd		07-Sep-2006 18:13
sharks teeth...

Zak		07-Sep-2006 18:13
a crocodile!?

royalld		07-Sep-2006 17:48
Nutcracker.

The headache is getting stronger from pic to pic, and once again I have no idea.

Nicki Thurgar		07-Sep-2006 17:00
Some sort of nut cracking device? Hmmm...

Guest		07-Sep-2006 14:18
those do serve many purposes...used mine as a crab cracker recently

Dan Chusid		07-Sep-2006 14:12
Not very sharp are they? Must clamp together for some nefarious purpose.

Faye White		07-Sep-2006 13:24
hmmmm - pliers or a nutcracker? very interesting!

Guest		07-Sep-2006 13:03
my money is on tongs as well...a worn pair

Katie Chew		07-Sep-2006 12:57
A pair of tongs?

James Ross		07-Sep-2006 12:52
First thought was Lobster claws until I read the clue. A pair of tongs??

Guest		07-Sep-2006 12:39
A pair of old keys maybe???

Sheila		07-Sep-2006 12:38
First thought was a pair of nutcrackers but I think they're way to small for this.
