    This isn't too hard for some. I know what they are, but they're quite odd so I thought I'd just put them here and see if I can entertain you for a bit.

    5" long or thereabouts. Two views. These go to an everyday object. IMG_4985.JPG IMG_4986.JPG

    What Davey said. Those look like bits from the top of a screen door.

    I thought a gauge, or maybe scales? The bloke's response was simply "more junk". :)

    Looks like the highest part on the left one, and left-most part on the right one can be pushed down or right respectively, is that correct? That small part is like a square button, no?

    I think pen parts with the tops down. The little push button part goes in the top.

    Manson's got it. The inside of locks. We have so many lock parts we should find a way to make sculptures or something out of them.

    IMG_5074.JPG This post is for Spring. We don't come close to the amount of stuff (or the size!) that he has, but we have the shop full, half the garage and most of a 10' x 10' storage unit. This is after hubby brings the really unwanted stuff to the metal recycling at the dump. I really do have to get creative with old doorknobs.
