You think we could say so? Hmmm...
Was it made in the Second Age?

No. You think we could say so? Hmmm... Was it made in the Second Age? The key word of centention/definition here is "made." (It can be rather fun being a Delphic Oracle-unless perhaps you're on the receiving end). So in answer to the question, I do not know of it being used/made in the Second Age, so...no.

On reflection, I lean towards it being considered "made."

Well, since you had to reflect on whether to consider it "made", are you perhaps using "make" here in about the same sense as in "make breakfast" or "make the bed"? Or, since you can't really be expected to bother with quoting such a ridiculously long question, let me rephrase that in fewer words: Is it perhaps a non-permanent object?

Hmmm. This is tricky indeed. Let's tackle it from a different angle, then.
Could it be held in hand?

Nein. In fact, you might say, The more you grasp it the more it slips away.

This is really confusing. Is it dreams? Sorry if it doesn't make any sense, but its the best I can come up with.

No. It's material. Hint: When was it used? Who by?
