Guess What This Is?

Recently Insignia posted a blog with many photos. At the end, she posted a photo and did not tell what it is. She just wrote: “And finally, a task for you all. Can you taka a guess, what this could be?”.

From that blog, I got an idea to post a photo of an object that I have and ask our friends to tell what they think it is. This is certainly not a one upmanship. This certainly follows the idiom: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Here it is. Please take a close look at this and post your comments as to what you think it is.


Post Script: The above photo object is a wine pourer. Please see the photo below. It allows you to pour wine without drips.

    Thanks for your comments Stevie. I like anyone who jokes about his/her handicap. I still remember when Smokey Robinson presented you with an award plaque, you pretended to read for the audience and to notice a spelling mistake. This act by you brought down the house that evening.

    A song written, produced, and performed by you in 1984 is still mesmerizing many millions of people, including me, all over the world. That song is: “I Just Called to Say I Love You”.

    Thanks for your comments Titaxy. Would I waste your time by putting a broken glass piece. It is not a candle holder.

    To me it certainly looks like a plastic thing, a broken one or may be a detached one from the original piece but you are saying NO. so i would wait for the answer :)

    Hi SG,

    Glad that you got influenced :-P

    I have been staring at the photo for a long time. It looks like a broken piece of bottle neck. The angle is just upright and the background color also helps in camouflaging the true object.

    I cant guess better. Nice piece of photography. I really want to know what it is. Hope you will reveal the answer

    Thanks for your comments Insignia. Yes, I got influenced by your previous blog. Didn't I say before that you are my Dronacharya. The correct answer will be here by the time you wake up tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

    Vishnu, that is a colloquial term in USA. It means you came very close but did not win the first prize.

    :-)

    It looked remotely to me as a stopper; at one time.

    Thanks for revealing it SG. I really went bonkers!!

  33. SGOctober 27, 2009 at 9:43 PM

    Thanks for your comments Insignia. Why didn't you say it was a stopper? I would have given you the first prize. If you hesitate to say what is in your mind or what you think it is...you may lose the opportunity of your life time.

    Hi SG,

    Yes, But as I said, the background color of the picture camouflaged a lot.

    I will mention what all it looked like to me, a broken piece of plastic bottle at its neck, a paper clip, a stopper.....
    Hmm, I will keep that in mind, don't hesitate; just spew out :-)
