Abstract

Description

These two objects resemble a dumbbell. It is silver in color and is made of metal. It is approximately 6.25 inches in length. It consists of a 5.25 inch long metal cylindrical pole with circular structures. These circular attachments resemble weights and cannot be detached. In the center, the cylindrical pole is bent slightly; the object doesn't roll because of this bent area. The two circular structures are made of metal as well. On one side, the circular structure has "3-A" inscribed on it. On the opposite side, the circular structure has "2-A" inscribed on it. This circular structure is smaller in size than the "3-A" attachment. The "2-A" attachment has a diameter of 0.9 inches approximately, whereas the "3-A" attachment has a diameter of 1.10 inches approximately. The purpose, as well as the proper identity of this object, is unknown. Dimensions are: 6.25" L; weight: Item A: 4.2 oz.; Item B: 5.4 oz.; Item C: 6.8 oz.
