What Is It? - #56

[SifuPhil]

Taking a break from all these serious world-changing discussions I have decided to post WII #56, which is THIS little beauty ...



It is made of wood, about 6"-7" long, circa 19[SUP]th[/SUP] century.


WHAT IS IT?

 

[That Guy]

Whack-a-mole!

Whack-a-mole!

LOL! No, but I like your style ...

Is it what a judge uses i think it's called a Gavel

 

[Happyflowerlady]

I think it splits something, but not sure what exactly, since it would not split wood or anything hard. But it has kind of a pointed end, and if you hit the small end with a hammer, it would split something like a watermelon, or maybe even ice ? ?

 

[Diwundrin]

For poking paper money into gaming table slots?

All excellent ideas, but unfortunately not the purpose of this item.

Not a meat tenderizer, no ...

Well then, what about... a pleat folder? For keeping them even, in kilts or curtains and such?

Not exactly, but you're certainly VERY warm ...

For making pleats in fans???

I soooo hope that one's right.

Approaching desparation here..... for scoring or folding dough into equally sized sections?

Nope, not quite, but still kinda' warm ...

Is it used to hold the tape still when measuring curtains??

 

[SifuPhil]

Is it used to hold the tape still when measuring curtains??

No, it is not - sorry ...

 

[Anne]

I KNOW!! It's for making the little pleat thingies around a pie crust rim!!!


Makes as much sense as a Barbie toy.....

 

[Diwundrin]

No bite on the dough guess so...

For making wavy pasta?


Is this thing to do with cooking at all?.... just pleeeaaase don't let it be something medical!

 

[Jillaroo]

Is it used for hemming curtains by hand??

 

[Jillaroo]

Is it a hammer for the tacks to hold pleats etc in place??

Not for making pleatie-things around a pie-crust rim
And not for pasta, nor for medicos to shove on in
Is it used for cooking? This I cannot tell you, nay
But Jillaroo's most recent guess is closest for this day

[Anne]

For measuring/spacing the pleats on top of draperies??

 

[SifuPhil]

Hopefully. Somehow I don't think it will.

For measuring/spacing the pleats on top of draperies??

No, but still a little warm ...

 

[Jillaroo]

Is it used for hemming curtains, you fold the material over the wedge and pin it before sewing?
