Linwood was once again the first to submit the correct identification of the mystery item. His entry began with the quote, "We are Smart."
Chloe Hodgkins from the United Kingdom said she was browsing the Christie's Catalogue when she came across Lot 700 and recognized it. Corbie Hill suggested that "redresses of this ship showed up in plenty of TNG, DS9 and VGR episodes." Correct entries came from Spain, Italy, Canada and around the U.K and U.S. - quite a number from Pennsylvania!
Other entries suggested it might be a Cardassian supply ship, Kivas Fajo's ship or the Botany Bay.
Honorable mention goes to Max Berry from San Gabriel, California who suggested, "It is a Next Generation nose (hair) trimmer invented by Dr. McCoy. It is guaranteed not to snag the hairs."
