Hmmmm, how about toothpicks?  This maker is found on food service items....so toothpicks?

I would love to have it and fiddle with it to try and help resolve!  LOL

Hi KC
Tried toothpicks and they were as difficult to budge as matches. I've taken it apart and will photograph it when I get a spare moment.
However, Greenacres may have had a good idea about a photo frame ...  My neighbour was thinking along those lines as well ... some sort of 3D frame????

There are an awful lot of us then, mart, as no-one seems to have seen anything like it before.... but it probably will be something 'simple'  :)

I've taken it apart and here is what it looks like ..... even more confusing?

The two end 'blocks' of glass have their ends cut at an angle, for some reason, and the angled 'faces' face downwards?
