I didn't know you were famous.

Ta da!  I sure thought Lorell was going to guess it!! And Peter, yes, I am the famous Chicken Lady of Maryland!! LOL!!
Rich  wins !!  It is an egg. I quit the chicken business and what does my daughter do? She goes and orders a dozen mail order biddies! So now they are laying eggs!!  some lay light blue eggs, some lay brown eggs and then there is the Black Copper Marans that lay the darkest eggs!!!!!  Congratulations, Rich!!!

Ya-hoo! First one in a long time.

[Man From Ironbark]

Had me confused all along. I wanted to say copper from the start but copper is usually hammered rather than cast. I've never seen or heard of Black Copper Marans. Thought I knew all the chook names too.

Good for you, Rich!
That was a tough one, Natalie. Thanks for exercising our brain.
And those cell phone pics are really good.

Natalie's was a tough challenge to follow but I'll give it a try.

DISCLOSURE:   I have cloned out text on the label that clearly identifies the item (or I could simply taken a shot of the back which has no such label)...

That sure didn't take long.

Well done, Grant.

[Dreamin]

Good job, Grant. I didn't even get a chance to see it before it was solved.....  It's hard to find something for this challenge!!

Okay, what iz it  ???

The texture is what a machinist would do when making a tool so I think it is a handmade punch of sorts
