Product Description

Book Description
Attics groan under them, cellars and barns are full of them. They are the strange and intriguing implements that were once part of daily life but are now the stuff of mystery. Here is a selection of the most fascinating from the popular and long-running 'Dalesman' magazine column. Test your wits by trying to work out what each one of these fascinating devices was used for. But don't worry — the answers are included too.

From the Author
They’re in our attics, cellars and barns; they turn up at car-boot sales and auction rooms, and most of us are just left uttering ‘What on earth…?’
They’re the strange and intriguing implements that were once part of daily life, now replaced by some piece of technological wizardry or time-saving device.
Since 1994 Dalesman magazine has been testing its readers’ memories and ingenuity with a monthly column featuring these weird and wonderful objects, painstakingly and accurately drawn by John Broadley. Now we bring together the best of them in one book for you to test your wits and recollections. Thankfully, the answers are in the back.
