fv1609 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 What a cornucopia of ingenuity, inventiveness & downright filthy minds. I have not been disappointed though. Nick I might resort to that & Richard, naughty boy...peeping again! It's none of those things. It came from a publication circa 1847, by which time it had ceased general usage as far as I can see.

Snapper Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Looks like something from the posh veg counter at Waitrose to me. It must be for cleaning guns or something similar.
