If you have been to any museums in Wiltshire you will know that they hold within them a great variety of objects telling the stories of the people and places of the county.

 


We hope you are enjoying the recent 'mysterious objects' we've uploaded. For those of you who are interested:

OK - Here are some clues
 
Object 1 - This dates from the first half of the 19th Century (1800-1850), is made of brass and is 9 cms long. It would have held a particular type of powder.
Object 1



Object 2 - This object was used for picking something up. Guess the something and you will have the answer.
Object 2 

Object 3 - A certain type of liquid would have been placed in this copper vessel, but why is it this peculiar shape?

I don't know if they help or hinder! Answers in a few more weeks perhaps?
