is Palantiri meant as a hint?

In that case:
Palantiri, because all others or just one item and Palantiri is (usually meant as) 7

was anguirel the only one a mortal never saw or used?
or was the mirror of galadriel the only one not given as a gift to men, or used by men? (OK, so I'm confused!)

I guess the Ring of Barahir. It was the only jewelry
OR
it was the only item that hadn´t any magic powers.

Silmaril

Is Anguirel the only one not in Lord of the Rings (the book)?
OR Is the Ring of Barahir the only one without a mysterious end?
OR Is the mirror of Galadriel the only one that was never lost?
OR is the Mirror of Galadriel the only one never given as a gift?
OR Is the Mirror of Galadriel the only one not mentioned in the Silmarillion?

this is a long shot, but is it Anguirel?

All the rest have something to do with fire
*Palantiri-Pippin sees the eye of Sauron wreathed in flame
*Ring of Barahir-Barahir rescued Finrod in the Dagor Bragollach (The Battle of Sudden Flame)
*Mirror of Galadriel-Frodo sees the eye in it
*Narya- Ring of Fire
*Silmaril- made by Fëanor, Spirit of Fire

don't beat me too hard, i had to think for that!

The silmaril is the only one not a sword? Although I've never heard of angelos!
do you mean aeglos, gil-galad's spear? if so, the silmaril is the only one not a weapon?

Sea Home isn't the name of a ship

Sea Wing was was the ship in which Idril and Tuor went west
Castle of the Sea was the ship of Ar-Pharazon
Haven of the Sea was Tar-Aldarion's flagship
Wooden Whale was a nickname for Hirilonde (Haven of the Sea)
Far-Wanderer is Palarran, the greatest ship of Aldarion.

Ok, second try. Sea Home is indeed the name of a ship, one of Aldarion's ships, to be precise.

Which leads me to guess, Sea Wing, the ship of Tuor & Idril is the only one that wasn't Numenorean in origin, or built/commissioned by a king of Numenor.

A short list, and probably an easy guess [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Angrist
Narsil
Anglachel
Helm of Hador
