ceanna

badger, thanks for the recap. I am kind of stumped. I want to say lamp or clock but you say it doesn't need electrical or battery. Since it's not wood but organic materials also stumps me.

11. Does it have a function (vs. decorative)?

badger

11. Yes, it has a function (but is also decorative).

This may be a tough one. How about another hint? This thing usually comes as a set of two.

ceanna

12. Are they bookends?

badger

12. YES - bronze baby shoe bookends to be precise.

Do folks still do that? Mom did for me & my bro. I still have mine, not sure if he kept his.

badger, I haven't seen bronzed baby shoes in years!! There was a pair at my house--my oldest brother's--when I was a kid, but I wonder if anyone even does it anymore!! (Out of curiousity, I just searched and getting baby shoes bronzed or set in pewter etc. is still available and costs vary greatly from around $50 to $300!)

I guess that guessing bookends makes it my turn!! I'll be up awhile yet tonight and off and on tomorrow so let's get started!!

Depends on the answer to # 5, if no, then is it made from organic material?

(Badger, I forgot to mention that bronze book ends are not organic. Hahahahaha

7. Can be made from organic materials.

Yes, I had missed that, but perhaps badger meant the shoes themselves were leather or some other organic material!!! Good catch LOfL!!
