Notice I made bold the words Lone, Star and State....
Lone Star State.
Lone Star State = Texas.
And who lives in Texas?
JESS!!!
Yup! Jess won the contest! The object is indeed a MICROSCOPE SLIDE VIEWER. It is in fact a Bausch and Lomb Optical Company microscope slide viewer.
So, Jess gets a lamb from Ennis and Jack! 
OH poo !!!
I wish I had looked at this one before.It is the only one I knew.We had one at University when I was doing optometry, along with a whole bunch of Bausch and Lomb instruments from ancient to ultra tech.They still make the best spectacle and contact lenses, and the best large optical equipment.I have just kicked myself as I had no clue about the previous two.
I am off to have a big sulk and a small tantrum !!!!
I know , very childish.
