What am I?

I ran across this item in an op shop and it gave me an idea. What if I sought out odd bods like this, posted them on my web site offering a small prize for the best guess?

Would this help drive more traffic to my site? Would this help me become better known? Could I market my books more successfully?

So here we are – What am I #1? The prize is a copy of any one of my books.
ONE entry per person. Post your entry as a comment against the post together with the book title you’d like if you win.

So here’s the item …
