Nope nothing tea or pot or cup related unless this thing dropped in it by mistake. Most likely would no longer work if it did.

[Soopreme Team]

http://photos.smugmug.com/photos/298742712_WuNyc-O.jpg

[Lyshk0]

[russ_hillis]

DOH!

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Yup, and it's not even old. The logo on the remote.

http://photos.smugmug.com/photos/298742712_WuNyc-O.jpg

[Nistelrooydude]

One of em weird cigarette ash holders that you might find on a plane or in a van

[russ_hillis]

photo frame

I'm afraid this is another one that looks familiar but won't come to me until I hear the answer.

[Daniel2000]

a stapler?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Looks familiar Jeff, what is it again?

Well, you or someone else will have to guess correctly :)

One of em weird cigarette ash holders that you might find on a plane or in a van

No, not even close.

photo frame

I'm afraid this is another one that looks familiar but won't come to me until I hear the answer.

Nope, not a frame.

a stapler?

No, but it is something else that is a very common item. If you have one, you may look at it daily.

[lavanut]

Charger or other connection point (USB) on a cell phone?

[russ_hillis]

I like the USB theory.

My own thought is it might be part of an external hard drive. Oddly, I can't see mine; I store it behind my monitor.

[ArvThePie]

The darker metal to the left looks like it takes a knocking, there seems to be dissimilar metals here.
Is it a latch?:D

[JBerlotti]

telephone jack? never seen on metal but worth a shot.

[Grafixwld]

is it a card slot on a filing cabinet

[tomjd]

film access door on an old camera?

[Tom Reichner]

film access door on an old camera?

viewfinder on an old camera?

[tonylong]

Heh! More like what could be a viewfinder on a P&S:)!

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Charger or other connection point (USB) on a cell phone?

I like the USB theory.

No to the above.

Be a little more specific here...

telephone jack? never seen on metal but worth a shot.

No

is it a card slot on a filing cabinet

No

film access door on an old camera?

No

viewfinder on an old camera?

No

Heh! More like what could be a viewfinder on a P&S:)!

No

[tomjd]

Seatbelt buckle!

[SoaringUSAEagle]

No.

[tonylong]

You know, it looks like a metal base or backing, something out of view (with the little clip on latch) but my problem is that so many things have plastic bases...a microwave panel? A computer panel?

[tomjd]

Metal notebook or clipboard....type....thing...

[SoaringUSAEagle]

There's no plastic involved.

Metal notebook or clipboard....type....thing...

I'm afraid you're getting colder with this guess.

[tonylong]

OK, you don't say I'm "cold" with my metal base: a Microwave back panel?

[Grafixwld]

how about a strike plate on a door jam ?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

OK, you don't say I'm "cold" with my metal base: a Microwave back panel?

Okay.... No.

how about a strike plate on a door jam ?

No.

[lavanut]

part of a sliding door lock?

[russ_hillis]

a mouse trap

a duck pen

[SoaringUSAEagle]

part of a sliding door lock?

Nope.

a mouse trap

a duck pen

No.


Okay so apparently this is harder than I thought it'd be.

Again - you probably look at one several times a day if you have one. It's normally within arm's reach.

[XPert]

Latch on a wristwatch?

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Latch on a wristwatch?

There ya go.... you're up!

I'm on another computer without access to the one with the photo on it... it is a fossil watch latch.

[XPert]

There ya go.... you're up!

I'm on another computer without access to the one with the photo on it... it is a fossil watch latch.

I have my Fossil watch sitting on my computer desk in front of me and I thought, "hey, that looks familiar".

This one probably isn't too hard... I don't think...

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG001.jpg

[tomjd]

corner of a tape measure?

[XPert]

Well done.

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG001a.jpg

[tomjd]

Cool,
Here's another one.
http://www.pbase.com/tomjd99/image/109526704.jpg

[Nistelrooydude]

Weird golf ball?

[Nistelrooydude]

Screwdriver handle?

[tonylong]

Boy, you guys come up with some odd ones:)!

[tomjd]

no.....and no.......but both your answers are.....relevent

[Eastside]

part of golf club?

[tomjd]

what part?

[tonylong]

I haven't handled a golf club in years -- the grip?

[Eastside]

clubhead?

[Nistelrooydude]

no.....and no.......but both your answers are.....relevent

Are they really that odd, Tony? ;)

[Nistelrooydude]

The head of a golf club? :lol:

[tomjd]

Bingo! the grip
http://www.pbase.com/tomjd99/image/109528016.jpg

[tonylong]

Ooh! Ooh! I won a contest:)!

Taken with the 100mm macro and a 36mm tube (100% crop)
http://www.pbase.com/tonylong/image/93592670/original.jpg

[Eastside]

equal sign on paper? :lol:

[tonylong]

Heh! Not close, no cigar:)!

[Nistelrooydude]

A very old bar of soap?

[Nistelrooydude]

A grody-to-the-max mint?

[tonylong]

One tastes bad, one tastes good, this would be tasteless...

[SoaringUSAEagle]

stick of gum?

(although a tasteless piece would be pretty boring to chew on)

Or.... some sort of medication...

[tonylong]

Heh! No, nothing ingested. And it's funny when we look at something at a high magnification and see how, well, dirty it looks close up -- wouldn't want to lick this thing!

[tonylong]

OK, I'm gonna give clue pictures so this doesn't go on all night!

Full shot of above:
http://www.pbase.com/tonylong/image/93592671/original.jpg

[Eastside]

grooves from body of a lense?

[tonylong]

Yup, you got it, a 70-200 f/2.8 IS. here's the other clue I was going to give (taken with three stacked tubes:

http://www.pbase.com/tonylong/image/93592862/original.jpg

[Eastside]

Yay:p.....sadly I have no shots to contribute, I just like the game...so would you like to go again tonylong?

[tonylong]

Yay:p.....sadly I have no shots to contribute, I just like the game...so would you like to go again tonylong?

Hey, let's open it up...see who has the hours:)!

[XPert]

I'll try this again...

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG002.jpg

[aseainthesky]

Looks like a tripod head?

[XPert]

Looks like a tripod head?

Nope :D

[GCGuy]

micrometer?

[russ_hillis]

never mind wrong photo.

[Guineh]

Some sort of precision instrument? a caliper, perhaps?

[XPert]

No one is very close yet, so here's another clue...

It is a smaller, portable version of something nearly everyone has in their home. Small enough to fit in your pocket when you fold it up...

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG002HINT1.jpg

[Chet]

Ice skate?

[tomjd]

:DPopeel Pocket fisherman?

[tomjd]

wine bottle opener?

[XPert]

Nope, nope, and nope. :)

What you can see in the background of the second photo is also part of the object.

[tomjd]

lamp?

[tomd]

something used for climbing?

[Chet]

Spurs?

[lavanut]

pocket flashlight?

[XPert]

Nobody is close yet... I think maybe that second photo is throwing you in the wrong direction. Here's another angle that should make it easier...

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG002HINT3.jpg

[Chet]

What happened to the ice skate?

[XPert]

It's not an ice skate, but it's a part of the same object...

EDIT: To summarize, all three pictures below are the same object... what is it?

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG002.jpg

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG002HINT1.jpg

A weird pocket knife?

[Minke]

Camp stove.

[XPert]

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG002a.jpg

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60/ReDirkulous/SMG002a2.jpg

[Nistelrooydude]

Camp stove.

Of course :cry:

[Minke]

:). That had me puzzling until the valve assembly became clear.

Not prepared to macro at the moment, so I'll defer to the next shooter in line.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

Hm, well I dont know anyone who has one of those, lol.

[lavanut]

So does anyone have a pic to post?

[tomd]

So does anyone have a pic to post?

thanks for volunteering ;)

[lavanut]

thanks for volunteering ;)

Well, that's not quite what I had in mind, but OK...
I happen to have a few I shot not long ago. Here's one.

[Nistelrooydude]

Paper holder on a threee-hole-punch?

[turbo_911]

[lavanut]

Stapler.

like a lock on the laptop or some gaming console?

nope & nope

[aseainthesky]

Looks like a latch that you put a lock in.

[lavanut]

Looks like a latch that you put a lock in.

Nope.
Remember we're in the macro world here. The main item in the photo is only a couple of millimeters tall.

That's the only hint for the night. If no one's closer in the morning, I'll drop another hint or two.

[Daniel2000]

the contact of the charger unit on a cordless phone base?

[lavanut]

the contact of the charger unit on a cordless phone base?

Nope, though it is the base of something
