Things like a bundle of pencils taken from the eraser end and the like come to mind. I'm sure we could do this with common phono items arranged in unusual ways. It's tough enough to identify some of them with the whole item in the shot!

Thanks for the uber-cool pictures!
That is a very cool idea! Being that I'm a novice, I could learn much with something like this!

Here is the first picture I took of the stylus. Got out my trusty old toothbrush and cleaned away the fuzz. Cliff

Yes, Those Edison stylus's are called a "Doorknob" stylus for obvious reasons.

Yours appears to be in very good shape. You can rotate them 180 degrees if one side gets worn. A great money and time saver!
