A friend found these and we have no idea what they are. They are light-weight, no marks/holes etc.
-
My first thought was part of a set of Mortar and pestles blocks (for grinding spices) but the little bulb on the pointed end doesn't look right for that. About how long is the biggest one and is there any markings on the box.
-
She didn't say how big...only that they are all about the same weight...light, possibly aluminum. No marks on them or the box. No holes. I thought plumb bobs but she said there's no weight to them.
-
I also thought of plumb bobs but they have a sharper point on the end and you said no holes so there would be no place to attach the string . I'm out of ideas, maybe some body else has a idea or two?

:embarrassed: Oh good heavens....someone just sent me this. I'm going to go out on a limb here and consider this problem solved. LOL
