ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 09-17-2012 11:19 AM [01-3041] I think these items may be too easy for this audience; but let’s give it a try. It is easier in that you can see the tong like object is attached at one end to something else. IP: Logged

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 09-17-2012 01:44 PM That is a good guess as the prongs are inserted into something and are spring loaded so as not to fall out. The items my wife collects serve a different purpose than holding a bottle tag. Hint: The connection between the prongs and the object that they are connected to allow the object to freely rotate.

ahwt Posts: 2334 Registered: Mar 2003	posted 09-17-2012 04:33 PM Exactly right Cheryl, As you can see below the flexible legs are attached to a tea leaf strainer. The legs are simply inserted into the spout of a teapot and when the tea is poured the tea strainer rotates to catch a loose tea leaves. IP: Logged
