Hickory dickory dock!

The clock struck one
and down I come.
The man will never talk.
What am I?
A guillotine.
All In White, A Fossil
All in white, a fossil,
fresh snow, a loan, the sky,
But just what am I?
A bride (something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue).
Dead At The End of An Alley
A man is found dead at the end of an alley. A detective who enters the scene sees the letter X and immediately knows who killed the man and why. What did the detective conclude?
The alley is a bowling alley. The man who was killed was a pin spotter (an old profession where they would reset the pins by hand). The X was the marking on the score sheet for a strike. The detective saw the letter X and knew that the person bowled last, got a strike, and was due to bowl again. But they bowled before the pin spotter could get out of the way.

I Look Like What I Represent
I am one of very few, perhaps the only one, to look like what I represent. What am I?
The word ‘bed’, which looks like an actual bed. The ‘b’ is the headboard, the ‘e’ is the mattress and the ‘d’ is the foot board.
If you know of another word that looks like the object it represents, add it in the comments.
