I'll pass my turn. I just posted a puzzle less than 24 hours ago, so someone else can take a go.

Jump Ball.

 

[Eeyore]

I have one, if that is allowed.

 

[Eeyore]

It should not be too difficult for some on this forum

[Eeyore]

Well ... that was a major hint lol!

 

[econjoe]

I have one of those.

 

[Eeyore]

I have one of those.

Yes, I suppose you do


And I think that qualifies as a correct guess ... the floor is yours

 

[econjoe]

I'm entering into a meeting, so I'll defer to someone else. But for the curious members, a fountain pen sac spreader is a useful tool.

Indeed, and this excellent article by Richard Binder explains how to replace a fountain pen sac: http://www.pentrace.net/article012901050.html

I thought it was a soap-on-a-rope hook.

I'll take a turn

 

[Eeyore]

A wire holder? But for what? Some kind of industrial sewing machine?

 

[SteveE1959]

No, the holder part isn't what it is. They are used in some chemical laboratories.

 

[Eeyore]

No clue ... someone else's turn

 

[SteveE1959]

A clue: GC/FID

 

[Pkrankow]

So it isn't a giant spool of PEX plumbing?
