NO-ONE managed to identify last week's Craven Curiosity.
There were plenty of guesses - but no-one came near. It was, in fact, a sugar crusher.
Experts from Craven Museum and Gallery tell us: "A sugar crusher is an instrument, which is used to break up large lumps of sugar into smaller granules.
It consists of a round scalloped base and a long plain handle with a circular loop at the top. It was produced from rusted white metal and the measurements were 143mm in length. The metal is slightly bent.
"This was used as an instrument to mix sugar or spices into either hot or cold toddy. Toddy is a Scottish drink made out of whisky or liquor."
All items featured in this column can be viewed at the Craven District Council-run museum which is located at Skipton Town Hall.
Meanwhile, we are inviting guesses about this week’s mystery object. Suggestions can be emailed to news@cravenherald.co.uk, to arrive no later than noon on Monday.
