13. Something that the average hobbit would use frequently? Yes if the hobbits we know about are representative.

Interesting answer to 12. Hmmm...
Is it Lobelia's umbrella?

1, Person? No
2, Place? Non
1a Person? Still no
3, Object? Yes. Unsuprisingly perhaps.
4, Was it made by someone or some group? I am taking this as meaning was it a crafted/manufactured object? And the answer is Yes
5, Made in first age? No
6, MAde by a mortal? Yes
7, Made by a dwarf? No..well unlikely
8, Made in the second age? No
9, Made by a man? No, even more unlikely.
10, Made by a hobbit/hobbits? Yes, almost certainly
10a Made by an orc? Nope.
11, Weapon? No.
12,Is it a piece of clothing / anything that you put on yourself? No/ No, not if you mean something you would be described as wearing (eg armour/jewellery). But you could maybe interpret that question as needing the answer yes.
12a book. no
13. Something that the average hobbit would use frequently? Yes if the hobbits we know about are representative.

14 Is it Lobelia's umbrella? No but that shows you have interpreted my reservation re Q12 in the right sort of way.

OK then - is it a handkerchief? Like, say, the one Bilbo forgot to take along when he ran off with the Dwarves?

Pitch's guess is probably correct, but if not - a pouch of pipeweed?
