    Hello good people,

    I will not speak (for some time until I regain my self-confidence :joyful::joyful::joyful:), I will just listen (read) :bookworm::bookworm::bookworm::shame::shame::shame:;););)

    Here is, (I think) a paper weight (dimensions: 16cm[6.2in] x 20cm[7.8in] x 2.5cm[0.9in] - heavy, around 900-1000gr[31.7-35.2oz])

    Any ideas :woot::woot::woot:

    I love it, I can say that :smug::smug::smug:

    Back in the day I would have called this a "desk toy."

    Even if it doesn't have any movable parts?

    The pins don't come out of the holes they're set into?

    Completely screwed in and absolutely not movable :happy::happy::happy:

    Well it was a thought. Seems rather large for a paperweight, though. I wonder what the extra holes on the bottom are for. One for the bowling ball, but the last has nothing above it, right?

    I agree, it seems rather large for a paperweight...And exactly my thoughts about the extra hole...there is only one extra hole...and it doesn't have anything above

    I am rather confused :bored::bored::bored:

    Is it possible it is some old skittles trophy? :bored::bookworm::bored:

    I repeat, I know it looks tempting, but this was absolutely not built with the intention to be played with :):):) everything is tightly screwed in.

    But it does look like a skittle setup :bored::bored::bored: thnx Ratsy...also thnx Bakersgma
