@Giles:

Is it a stand thingy to display a Fire King cup?

No it does not

I hope not, I'm going with a no here.

it the part of your coffee maker which holds the filter or glass cone.

^thats what i was thinking. Looks like a funnel and the rubber ring prob sits on a mug

[Snowy]

Nope gents. I picked it up in Japan due to it's unique look. It's oddly practical for what it is, and meets the Japanese aesthetic of pure simplicity and function head on.

There's a hint in there. It's not in lingo/word play either. It's useful.

[trail and arrow]

is it a chessman

[Snowy]

Nope, it isn't.

Next clue tomorrow night?

[Giles]

Pencil sharpener…..

[Snowy]

Negative Ghostrider

[Giles]

Pencil case…..

[Snowy]

Not quite sure if serious, answer's no tho.

[Giles]

I was serious.

To me it looks like the and of a pencil without the lead and it appears to be a container of sorts held shut by a rubber ring….

[Snowy]

I see what you meant. I couldn't work out why you would be talking about the big long fabric thing called a pencil case (http://www.2kool4skool.com.au/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/P/e/Pencilcase_Flat_Graffiti.jpg).

I just re-checked the item to make sure it couldn't be used for that incase it was a lost in translation moment. It's still not a pencil case tho.

[Giles]

I had one of these when I was at school…..

[Seul]

You went to school?..

[Giles]

Well, almost, I think it was a "Special Needs" school….  My brother found this and sent it to me last weeSchool report (which does give me an idea for a thread)…..

[Snowy]

Clue; The black ring is rubber, and it's used to hold the timber bits together.

[Aetas]

No idea!
But as we talked about cheating:

Cheating Chopstick Tool

[Snowy]

Nice guess, but no.

Let me know if you want more stuff or an answer, don't want to frustrate you guys too much…

[madmonday]

it's a mini tee-pee for your little cowboys & injuns or it's an incense holder/burner thingy
