Tuesday Teaser for August 5, 2008
NOTE: I’m working across-island today, so don’t get agitated when I can’t reply to your comments for a while. I should be back within eight hours - lots of time for you to solve the puzzle! I’m home and you haven’t solved it yet?!
1. Write a comment giving your guess as to what the item is. Be as specific as you can. A table is too vague - a clamp on a card table leg is specific. Sometimes the brand will need to be specific, as when you identified the Enregizer Bunny and auto company logos. Guess as many times as you want, but put each answer in a separate comment, please!
2. First person to identify the item wins. If more than one person provides the correct answer, time and date stamp will determine who was first.
3. The author of this blog will be the sole judge as to what constitutes a correct answer. Sorry - no hints will be given. I will attempt to respond to your answers at least every few hours, but I am not continuously at the keyboard so please be patient.
4. The contest will end in forty-eight hours, whether or not a correct guess has been submitted.
5. Skeet’s Stuff is a do-follow blog, so you get some link value just for commenting.
What will you win?
1. The author of this blog will write a LINKY LOVE POST (review) about the winner’s blog (commercial sites ineligible.) The LLP will contain the url for your blog plus at least two deep links and will be posted here on Skeet’s Stuff, a PR4 PR2 PR0 (bah google!) Ha! PR3 blog. Skeet writes good reviews. 
2. The weekly winners will be entered into a monthly drawing for a $10.00 gift card from Starbucks or Amazon or a ten dollar payment through PayPal so they can start saving for their Disney cruises or a gallon of gas.
3. Drawing for the monthly prize will be held on or about September 1, 2008, and will include all weekly winners for the month. There are four Tuesdays in August, thus the maximum number of people who will be eligble is four.
Comments submitted with commercial links will be deleted. If you would like to market your product, service or website through skeet’s stuff I’ll be happy to discuss your needs and my prices. Please submit your request via email.

It’s that or the bottom of a candle holder or laturn.

I was convinced that Shilo was on the right track with old fashioned bell. I looked at one. Could be so I’ll get more specific than my dingy part of a bell.
I don’t know what the actual term is though. It’s one of those used to service at the hotel desk. The part on top that you tap (the little pin part)?

Laura, it’s not a push pin, a sink faucet or a set pin on a watch. Surely you know that “a handle on somthing” is a little too generic, hmm? I’ll be posting the winner announcement as soon as I wade through all of these answers, so check for a new post soon!

August 6th, 2008 at 6:48 am, skeet Says:
Megan, someone has finally provided the correct answer. I’ll have the photo verification post up soon, so you only have to hold your breath a little bit longer!
August 6th, 2008 at 6:50 am, skeet Says:
