    Nikolai, B&W would make an interesting conversion.

    Don, nope not from NJ. Although I'm sure you can find it there.

    Hint - not as heavy as concrete.

    Sorry Don, that one went right over my head :smack

    eL eSs Vee, uhhh...No.

    OK, one more hint, then I'll reveal. It's not environmentally friendly and has many uses from insulator, used in packaging, and can be found around water.

    Correct. I found these at my marina this weekend. When I got a tight shot of them, they looked very different. The water changed the original shape and color from a square white block of Styrofoam.

    Definitely fancily carved wood trim on something, but what. Some kind of jewelry box. or the like is my guess.

    One thing is for certain; it's small. Four, maybe five inches across. I see a finger print.

    Hmmm . . . Best guess: It's a metal cap on a cardboard tube. ne_nau.gif

    Interesting guesses! Good work on figuring out the size, eL! I'm starting to wonder if the object is even recognizable, haha! Here's the link to the wide angle if you don't want to keep guessing: linky
