What is it?

[scifan5752]

Yes, it is.

I was hopping to post at least one of the other pictures I'd prepared.

Sure. It was fun trying to get better shots that still didn't show the brand. I probably should have excluded the model with the first shot.

I've thought of that in the past, but for some reason it didn't occur to me this time. I must need more caffeine.

Here's the next challenge.
What is this? What is it used for?

This is part of a whole. what's the other part called?

 

[twerppoet50]

It's a pestle. The other part is a mortar (a heavy bowl).

They are used to grind stuff into a fine powder.

I'm guessing this one is for herbs. The ones I remember are from chemistry classes.

I have one of those to grind spices, mines black marble though

 

[twerppoet50]

Ok, another not terribly hard one; probably.

Just what it is for. The model is probably too obscure to track down.

 

[scifan5752]

Is it a signal strength meter?

 

[twerppoet50]

No.

Although it is a meter of sorts, meter is no part of it's name. That row of letters is an important clue.

 

[scifan5752]

How about a tuning meter for electric guitars?

How about a tuning meter for electric guitars?

Yep, that's it. Or close enough anyway. It works on basses and acoustic guitar as well.



Got to head to bed soon. Enjoy the night.

Here's one for the next challenge.
What is it? How is it used?
Bonus question;What brand is it?

To be honest, I was to lazy to hunt for something harder, I'm baking a huge order and took my earring out...

Now Fleur, you could have won my rather blurry challenge.

My apologies to everyone about the photo quality. I digitally enlarged smartphone pictures. I'll get the hang of it one day!

Back to challenges, cookery related objects may be worth a shot.
