<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 2436445, member: 5515"]Great guesses, very interesting actually. #2 wasn't even on my radar, but with so many guesses of #2 I'm kinda interested when it arrives. Okay, so for this one, I only picked one item I wanted to see more photos of (i'm not saying I'm perfect at this, just letting you know what my strategy was. The one item that jumped off from the rest of the group...to me...was item <u>#8</u>. So, I asked the seller for a photograph, and they sent me a photo of the wrong one (also not the back like I asked):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]264471[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>They after giving the seller a bit more directions, they showed me a photo of the back of #8:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]264472[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>So, here's the bonus round question, and I'll give you a few hints.

But its that final photo where you see about half the plate...You can feel the wavy/unevenness of the tray, kind of looks like a warped mirror, something I love to see. Good luck in round 2 of the game, I look forward to seeing what you can piece together here![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
