    A woman on another jewelry forum placed an order with Rio Grande for
    a ring mandrel recently. It was back ordered, and when the item
    finally arrived over the weekend, instead of a ring mandrel she got
    this:

    Nothing like it can be found either in Rio's catalogs or on their
    website. She called Rio today, and the customer service rep was
    unable to ID the thing by description. She's sending it back, but
    now there are about two dozen other people who want to know what it
    is. Guesses range from a sign holder to something for bending sheet
    metal to a jeweler's Scrabble tile holder. Can someone please
    identify what that thing is so all of these people can sleep again?
