Here's a little bonus "What Is It?" for all of you. I was originally planning to post this one, but decided not to. But the pictures were already uploaded so we'll add this one in as a fun extra!

Very few details were given about it. It's roughly a foot tall and made of metal. It is hinged on three sides as you will notice below...









So ya'll go ahead and put your heads together and try to figure out what this thing is! Feel free PM each other, gossip, hoo-ha and hee-hee and what ever else you need to do in order to figure it out, and I'll reveal the answer at the conclusion of the game!  :D

Consider it a two-fer from me to you! ;)

Good luck!

I voted antique brick making machine....mainly because I didnt thnk it could be anything else on the list.


Now.......this bonus picture....looks to me like some old version of a campfire oven.



Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

I voted for "antique brick making machine."  The bonus one is really intriguing.  I'll have to study that one a while.   Great job, David.  Thanks!  :)
