DescriptionSet of twelve metal holders of various sizes. Each holder is made up of three parts. The first part is a thin circular rim. Each of these is a different size; a segment of one of them is missing. The second part is a rod attached at one point to the circle. The rods vary: some are straight, others are L-shaped; some are square and hollow, others are round; some taper out, others have a consistent thickness. The third component, more or less the same for all of the holders, is a hollow cylinder with an adjustable screw. The cylinder is affixed so as to be perpendicular to the circular rim, or in other words, the openings within both the cylinder and the rim face the same directions.
In addition, 16 miscellaneous metal pieces including, but not limited to: two of the above-mentioned holders missing the third component; one of the above-mentioned holders missing the circular rim; one of the above-mentioned holders with a solid disk of cork in place of a circular rim; one of the above-mentioned holders with three metal teeth emerging from the circular rim; three of the above-mentioned holders with thin U-shaped rims instead of circular ones.
