Is the odd item out an axe, because it is never been used as a weapon ‘ as far as I know’ by an elf?

Harps because they are not weapons
OR Coats of armor because they have never been carried by hand into battle (rather, worn)

Elves never use axes?

Bows are the only ones where the actual weapon is not thrown or used by hand . . . projectiles . . .
(Axes, by the way, were used in at least one instance by Elves: in Gondolin the house of Meglin "fought with axes two-headded like mattocks.")

Coats of mail because all the others have been used as weapons, or sorts of weapons by the Elves. Finrod used the harp as a weapon to enchant the Beorians (although probably not intentionally).

A bow is the only one made of wood, or not made of metal

Bows were the only ones not mentioned in Smaug's hoard.

Well, you made it kinda easy there with that hint...

Sat through PJ's "eye candy "twice, only thing I could come up with is that there were no pots in the Prancing Pony scene.
Time for a hint ?

Well, I feel duty bound to try to answer a question about pots and pans. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
On the basis that Sam used either a pot or a pan as a weapon in the film (in the fight scene at Balin's tomb), I will hazard a guess that they were all used as weapons, except ... hmm ... the beer mug (didn't Turin throw a drnking vessel at Saeros?).

That's it! I included the drinking vessel since that was Turin's weapon, and I assume that there were no beer mugs in Doriath, so that would be the difference. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Uh, bacon is yummy and eatable, and the others are not (or at least they shouldn't be...). Well, ale is technically drinkable, not edible...

The 'brass buttons' seem to hint at Hobbits, so I'll say bones -- Hobbits do not seem to have much interest in them. Either that or swords for the same reason (I said bones first because swords were of course used by some hobbits).

I will guess bones, because I believe, though I haven't checked, that they were one thing that Bilbo didn't wish he access to at any point on his travels.

Perhaps brass buttons then, because Bilbo did not win them through his adventure (he got gold ones instead, you'll remember) although I can't remember 'bones' being in the list.

Alquadae and Gil-Galad, the combination of your answers produces the correct answer. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
All those items are mentioned in Roast Mutton except books. But more specifically, they were all present in the Trolls' cave except books (which is what I was looking for). Bacon was one of the items of food that the company took from the cave to bolster their flagging supplies. Either one of you may go next. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Taunts; the only thing that could not inflict actual physcial damage. Although I wouldn't personally classify it as an 'item'.

Taunts and eagle talons make me think of the Silmarillion, but also the Hobbit. Argh. I'll say Silmarils, because they weren't involved in the torture of Maedhros.(I think and hope. Otherwise I've made a complete fool of myself.)

Morgoth was never hurt by a spear. He endured all the other kinds of "harmful items".
