So I have a gold ring. It has a maker's mark (VET), a made-in-Finland mark (crown in a heart), "18k", the year thing (either C4 or G4), and then there's what looks like a man wearing a helmet holding a bow or something. Does anyone know what this last mark is, or where I can find a listing of Finnish gold marks that might have it on there? 174.20.95.124 ( talk) 01:01, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
Would you be able to give us a picture of your little dude? That would be a great help Lemon martini ( talk) 17:46, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
[3] has a picture about halfway down of a Finnish hallmark including what appears to be a small dude of some sort.The caption suggests its a city mark for Vaasa,but the author appears uncertain about this.Does he resemble yours? Lemon martini ( talk) 00:15, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

what is the average sex period of male and female in their lives?
means at what age a normal male/female can start to have sex and untill what age he/she can carryon to do so?
in short the question is what is the life time of sexual life? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Household90 ( talk • contribs) 09:48, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
If by "sex" you mean penetrative intercourse involving the penis and vagina, the male sexual span would begin in puberty with the ability to get an erection. Some men are capable of performing sexually, including fathering children, well into their geriatric years, and the male sexual span ends only with death or when a man's physical health no longer permits erection and/or intercourse. A woman can receive penetration at any age, but her body won't truly be ready to prepare itself for intercourse until she hits puberty. After menopause, she may have difficulties with lubrication and such, just as an older man may have trouble getting and maintaining an erection compared to the average younger man, but these difficulties are rarely severe enough to end a woman's active sexual life. In short: the ability to experience and enjoy genital sensation is present in infants and children, but only with puberty does the body become able to prepare itself to perform sexual intercourse. In older adults, the biological mechanisms attendant to sexual intercourse may be somewhat slowed down, and desire may diminish, but there is no definite cut-off point at which an adult human can no longer perform sexually simply on account of his or her age.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.104.119.240 ( talk) 06:26, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
What can be the use of the following three tools [7] and [8]? Pictures in gallery are zoomable. 83.23.244.28 ( talk) 15:15, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
The two tools with plastic handles and bent wire at the end look like they are made to lift something which has a ball above a smaller neck at the top, like a lid of a crucible or a scale weight (crucibles get too hot to touch, fingerprints significantly affect scale weights). The Wood handled tool with the plus shaped cross section at the end would not make sense as a paint stirrer. A throw-away wooden paint stirrer would to a better job and not require tedious cleaning. There would likely be some paint stains on it if it were a paint-mixer. It would be useful for pushing something out of a mold of the same plus shape or for making an indentation of that shape in something soft like clay. If it were for indenting something hard like leather or wood, it would likely have a metal handle for striking. It has been used a lot, shown by the plating being worn off, perhaps by the user's thumb. Edison ( talk) 15:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
