mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Tuj

Associated with a particular country?

CdM

Mass-produced?

Raak

Does it have moving parts?

ImNotJohn

[Tuj] One country? - YES
[CdM] Mass-produced? - YES
[Raak] moving bits? - NO

Raak

Is it a model of something?

ImNotJohn

[Raak] A model? - NO

Raak

A bell?

ImNotJohn

[Raak] Belly? - NO
As a help, I can expand on my particular country answer to Tuj. They are/were associated with and produced in one country, but have/had a wider presence.

Phil

Still mass-produced?

ImNotJohn

[Phil] Still in production? - NO (Thank you - that'll make it easier for me to write comments and clues)

jim

Does the answer contain a brand or company name?

ImNotJohn

[jim] Branded? - NO (Well, actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised to discover that it has been used as a brand name at some point somewhere, but that won't help you)

Phil

Smaller than a toaster?

ImNotJohn

[Phil] The first toaster question? - YES, smaller
In looking up the answer to jim's question I discovered this had been used as the name of an album, a book and a shop amongst other things but I can't see that helping much.

jim

Associated with a European country?

ImNotJohn

[jim] Associated with European country? - YES * a few murmurs, but no dissent, among the audience*

Phil

Entirely metal?

ImNotJohn

[Phil] All metal? - YES *the audience are beginning to show some interest*

cfm

Is the abstract connection closely related to the country of origin?

Raak

Turkish?

jim

Russian?

[Raak] We're thinking along the same lines, I think.
