Remember my UNIDENTIFIED GROUNDED OBJECTS?

[Radio_Lady]

I still don't know what they actually are! But don't bother to guess (unless you really know what they are!). We put them on the feet of a cute little brown plush stuffed bear, and we're pretending they are snowshoes with the grandkids!

Thanks for all your guesses in the previous thread:

1. Most definitely shoe chains. n/t

2. They are too small for even a size 1 child's shoe. That's for about

a seven-year-old.

Would there be shoe chains made for toddlers? If so, I've never seen them in Boston, where we raised five children in a snowy winter climate!

I can't convince myself that's what they are, but they look cute on the brown bear! Happy holidays, whatever...

3. maybe the rubber has lost its flexibility. That just sounds dirty, tho.

4. Not at all. These things -- WHATEVER they are -- look brand new!

The metal is "bright chrome " -- silver shiny -- rivets are not scratched and the rubber is in UNUSED condition.

Go figure...

This is still an unsolved mystery. Where is Robert Stack when you REALLY need him?

Oh, damn. He's dead...
