Answer 1

The top of an old "Ice Chest"

Bien hecho Ray - tienes razon! - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

Oh, Ray, you beat me to it. I was looking for the Spanish word for ice chest and wasn't sure if "congelador" is the right word. :) - Rikko, JUN 20, 2010

Answer 2

A Dunny cover???

Come on now Ray - our dunny covers never looked as sophisticated as that! lol - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

This is Ray's latest answer, so this should invalidate this "ice chest" answer. Jejejeje - Rikko, JUN 20, 2010

jejeje - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

Answer 3

Un escritorio = bureau (writing desk)

Hola Rikko, buen intento, pero no, mi OM no tiene nada que ver con escritura :( - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

¿¿¿¿¿ Why a worm farm???? ¡¡¡¡ Cos it's so much fun rounding the little critters up!!!!!!!! - ray76, JUN 20, 2010

Doesn't work the same way for English, Ray. Jejejeje - Rikko, JUN 20, 2010

Answer 4

Una caja de las herraminetas = a tool box

Oops, with Pista #1, this can't be. - Rikko, JUN 20, 2010

No Rikko, no es una caja de las herramientas :( - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

Answer 5

Is it a kids toy storage box. ?

No Albert, no tiene nada que ver con los niños :( - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

Answer 6

Is it a burial casket for the dead worms from the worm farm ?

Jejeje!!!! I am still not through trying to understand why there is such a thing as a worm farm. :)))) - Rikko, JUN 20, 2010

Hola Albert - gran respuesto y muy creativo pero no, mi OM no es un entierro ataud de los gusanos :o - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

jejeje Rikko - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

Answer 7

Well done Ray! This beautiful wooden object is an old "ice box" or "ice chest". The ice was loaded into the top and whatever you wanted kept cold was stored underneath. It belongs to one of my good friends who kindly allowed me to use it as a MO. It is now has pride of place in her lounge room as a television stand..

Would you call it "congelador" in Spanish? - Rikko, JUN 20, 2010

Do you know Rikko I didn't give it a Spanish translation becuase I wasn't sure - but I was leaning towards "hielera". - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

I think "congelador" is the freezer (compartment) so maybe that would be okay. Perhaps someone else can let us know? - nonombre, JUN 20, 2010

The dictionary gave a few words so I wasn't sure which one would fit and if the differences are really just regional. - Rikko, JUN 20, 2010

"Heladera" is there in the dictionary for "icebox", but maybe you are rigth about "hielera", which is "cooler". - Rikko, JUN 20, 2010

Answer 8

¡Pista numero 1!

Encontré este "etiqueta" dentro de mi OM.
