I'm doing an annoying "find out using the internet" work quiz. I figure you're all on the internet so it's ok!

cheers

A comma on the end of a typewriter key.

Part of a park bench.

My monitor is so old and fuzzy that this game isn't fun to me. What a shame.

The focal plane aspect might mean something, that is to say
it looks like a small object in a macro shot which would put the
background out of focus. My guess is it might be a personal seal
they used to put on the old style envelopes, the ones with the dot
of wax. The pattern showing seems to be some kind of stylized
dragon or snake with legs, not sure if that is designed or like some
one said, burned and random but it looks designed.

Second guess, the bottom of a crutch, or maybe the bottom of
the leg of a chair or couch with rubber tip just worn in that pattern.
Or the butt of a cane. It could even be a doorknob.
