but aren't keys commone househeld items?

yes this is only an idea of what we are looking for ,its not a question

is it a hand tool?

Yes, it is used with the hands and possibly other body parts as well.

17th?

Does it have any thing to do with percussion?

No, I'm afraid not.

18th question?

Is this famous user from the America`s?

No but this person did the stuff that made him/her famous in the Americas.

19th?

last chance here ,the telegraph?

I'll ignore that, the telegraph isn't something that one person used... Samuel Finley Breese Morse: rest in peace, but it wasn't him.

19th again?

This is just discussion:

I was thinking astrolabe (Chris Columbus) but that was a measuring tool so is ruled out...

Harold may have been on to something with musical instrument (i.e. trumpet, though I would say they were common tools) - but the question too narrow with percussion...

It's not an axe (Abe Lincoln) as I presume he was US born as well as cutting tools being ruled out...

thanks Mog I just was thinking of perhaps a tool that was used by a famous person in a certain way , a bit like Ben franklin with a kite on a chain and a key lol Im stumped with the whole thing now .....btw @Pict i used the word percussion ,to also include fire arms and cannons ect as well as the instuments and also hammers and presses ,so it covered a range of diff things but still no use LMAO

Oh, ok.... but i'm still stumped too!

Do you think Mog is talking the US when he said "Americas" or could it be someone from south (or north) of the border??

US...

sheesh, any more delays and you'll have mog giving us the state... the school he/she went to... and we still won't get it!

wait! it just came to me!

its Johny Copperseed, isn't it? that irascible old frontiersman who walked all across the nation, planting new metal veins using his magical lug nuts, and seducing the native female robots into leaving their tribes for him?

in all seriousness, I think you've won mog.

Remember, the tool is supposed to be rare.
