I could think of some other things but, they might get me banned.
How about a tool for working metal shapes or a nail pounder.

Pappy. I hope we find out what it is before bedtime tonight!
Otherwise, I'll toss and turn all night long thinking about it. :aargh:

Oh wait, I didn't see that part about it being just 3". Hmmmmm, this will take some more thought. I'll have to think harder.

Hint: It's something that you wouldn't use on today's cell phones. Bet you get it now. :sentimental:

A rotary telephone dialer, it seems too fancy for such a simple task.

Aunt Bea nailed it. Seems a little overboard to me too.

I never would have got it. I always used my index finger; Ya know; next to the one I use while driving my car in heavy traffic.

Nor would I have guessed that in a million years. We always settled for a pencil or pen.
Congratulations Bea!
:lol: Yeah, I wouldn't want to wear out the one I use while driving in heavy traffic! :drive:
