   One of our readers needs help finding information about a plate she has.  Can   
   anyone help?   
      
   "Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me anything about this plate?  It   
   belonged to my grandmother, and I know nothing about it.  Any help would be so   
   appreciated..  I've attached pictures to the email.   
      
   Kindest Regards,   
   Sarah"   
      
   It's a beauty, and one of our readers found that it may be related to the   
   Masons, and write:   
   "This item may be very valuable to that Chapter of the Masons as I know a lot   
   of the Mason's collect antique Masonic items."

   A customer sent in these pictures of a tool and wonders if anyone know what it   
   was used for.  Apparently it fits in the palm of your hand.  Any ideas?   
      
   Hi I was wondering if you could help me identify this tool. I have no idea   
   what it is or what its used for.  I have been trying to research it for over 2   
   years and im stumped.  Its very heavy.  Even the engineers i know are stumped   
   as well.   
      
   Thanks Alexie
