Re: know idea

Hey Justin,
Just a suggestion : the best background for a pic of your treasures is a plain blue. It can be difficult to recognise any object against a multi-colored background.

Is it smaller than a breadbox?

 

[justinsas]

Yes its much smaller I will retake the picture and put something in it for refference size. The end that does not have the ball on it is broken like it broke off of something longer or maybe sometype of handle.

They must have had a better picture to work from... I'm glad you figured it out!

We see tons of those rein guides here but they have all looked different than yours.


Great job!
