    That's correct Huw. It is a Nikon pen with a Parker refill inside:



    One day this will be a collector's item

    Over to you....

      Excellent, thanks Geoff, nice pen.

        Sorry for the delay, here is a very common household item.
        I would be very surprised if your house doesn't have one of one type or another

          Is it a bathroom water tap?
          Svetlana

            No it's not a tap Svetlana, I can see why you thought it might be though.
            A little clue, it's something you would very likely find in one particular room of your house.

                Not lavatory flush handle Donald, this particular item is found in another room of your house.

                Here is the same item from a different perspective

                  OK as it seems to have got a little quiet, here is another selective angle (same item of course)

                    Well not much activity here, perhaps it's my subject matter?

                    Here is another image of the object with a common task to spark some interest.....

                        Hello Geoff, no not CD player although I can see why you suggested it.
                        This particular item would normally be located in a different room in the house to a CD player, it performs a particular task quickly, some are battery powered and some are not.

                          Another little clue, images 2 and 4 are shot from roughly the same position but with a different focal point.

                            From another angle and not so close in.

                                Hello Geoff, no I'm afraid not.
                                The item performs a function that involves other items, there are mechanical versions and electronic versions manufactured. This particular one is electronic.
