What is this THING?

Postby droid_ca » Sat Jul 02, 2011 6:13 pm

A new game...!
This is about any physical or other object like tools, inventions, car parts, animals, plants, trees, planets, gadgets etc. . Any physical or imaginary object qualifies.
Same easy rules as all the other games
You can only post a new picture if you name the current picture. If you're not 100% sure or can not provide a link, you'll need to wait for confirmation.- When you name the current object, you'll have to post a new picture. If you don't have the time or want to take the time to post a new picture, please don't play. If you don't post a new picture within an hour, anyone can post a new picture
If the current object is not named after 24 hours, anyone can post a new object.Here is an easy one to get started:

I'm not really sure how to play this game...and I did choose a difficult item to identify...

Jack is correct in that it is a light in my CC trailer, so he wins, but the answer I was after was that it is a ceiling light from a 1940's passenger bus.

They are really cool.
Lots of chrome, and thick heavy milk glass with a magnifyer in the center.
I recovered several from a vintage bus a few years ago before it went to the crusher.
You can see a double row of them in the second photo.
