Here at Posterity we quite often turn up the most baffling and perplexing curiousities. Sometimes experience in the trade and years of solving odd enquiries will give us an insight into the solving of a puzzling oddments usage...BUT...now and again something comes in which seems to have everyone scratching their heads.

We thought it would be fun to capture an image of these mysterious pieces and every now and then throw out an open invitation to help solve the conundrum. So here is the first object for your perusal and please no one tell us its a box of matches??

Anybody is welcome to visit Posterity and see this curio`in the flesh`if it would help solve the question and during the next couple of weeks (whilst open) we will be dishing out free coffee and mince pies during the morning to any visitor who requests sustainence. We are also holding a sale during our quiet winter period with bold reductions on an array of stock all of which will be marked with a yellow sticker. We are well stocked with tables of most descriptions and have loads of chairs both kitchen and dining, garden and conservatory available AND on offer.

Anyway most importantly please help us out with a use for the`mystery object` other than an instrument of torture we cannot come up with a solution??
