Title: Guessing game...Guess what's inside!
Post by: marcylove on November 07, 2010, 11:19:51 AM
Here's something I picked up from FIL's house.  it is VERY cool (IMO anyway).  it is a lightweight wooden case with a cap.  Can anyone guess what's inside?   ;)

What's it made from? Or will that definitely give it away?  :)

My original thought was it maybe housed silver hat pins, then I looked at its length and dismissed that idea. The 'kitchen' clue was a bit of a giveaway  ;D
