Science Friction Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I know many of you, like me, are history buffs. I love history, regardless of era. Old books, newspapers, coins, any kind of relic that has historical significance, fascinates me. In this thread, I will provide you with an image and I want you to try to identify what or who the item(s) or person(s) are in the picture. I some cases, the picture itself may hold clues but in other cases, you may just have to look at the object or person and try to tie it to some event in history. I'll start with a couple of them to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. The first person with the correct answer gets the points. No shortcuts, please. It's just a game, not a lottery. For 5 pts , here's the first item: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw spindoc's description. If that is the answer, give him the points. And, if that is the specificity you are looking for in these pics, the thread got dramatically more interesting.
