What Is It? - #41

[SifuPhil]

After a brief vacation ("holiday" to our Brit friends), during which I contemplated the nature of non-sighted firearm use and the right of mere mortals to shuffle themselves off this mortal coil, it's REALLY good to be back here in the Land of WII.

I didn't return empty-handed, either - I brought THIS puppy back with me!



Made of metal and measures approx. 12" in length. It is something still in use today.

WHAT IS IT?

mg:That looks like a torture thing for a mans anatomy:eek1:

Now, Jill - that's something I would expect That Guy to say, but not a lady of your breeding and refinement!


... besides, it's only 12" long.

 

[SeaBreeze]

A fabric pleater or sewing device?

 

[Diwundrin]

No bells ringing here.

 

[TICA]

A thingamagig to encode secret stuff!!!

 

[Jackie22]

A tool to pierce an animal's ear??

A tool to pierce an animal's ear??

Not a pleater nor for sewing
Bells don't ring for Di
Not even a thingamajig
Not used for ear nor eye


Great guesses, all - but keep going!

It looks like it could be a good meat tenderizer device. It obviously pokes holes in something, and that would allow marinade to soak into the fiber of the meat as well as tenderizing it.

I suppose it could be used for that, but alas that is not its original function.

Some type of tattoo device?

 

[Anne]

Is this something for working with leather?? Piercing holes for something??

[GDAD]

A sausage piercer, to pierce the skin of the sausage.

Ouch! Good guess, but no, sorry.

Leather? No. But you're warm with the second part ...

Thank you, bro - I knew you wouldn't let me down.

A sausage piercer, to pierce the skin of the sausage.

That what Jill and That Guy said.

But no, not for piercing sausage skins.


[HINT]I have to admit that even though I was peripherally involved in what this tool does, I was totally unaware of its existence and I used very different means to accomplish what it does.

 

[Jillaroo]

Is it used for putting the holes into brief cases for the lock mechanism

 

[Anne]

A tool for beadwork??? Prayer beads or jewelry??

Wow, how exotic ... wonderful guess, but sorry, nope.

A tool for beadwork??? Prayer beads or jewelry??

Interesting ... but no, sorry.

 

[Diwundrin]

Is it too soon to grovel for clues?

 

[Anne]

Ahhhh....I admit I googled...sort of. I would never have thought of that, but maybe someone will. Good luck, everyone!!!!

 

[Diwundrin]

One honesty medal in the mail for Anne.

I stopped doing that Google thing, spoiled it when I found it, and frustrated me when I couldn't.

 

[SeaBreeze]

Kudos for not spilling the beans Anne! :thumbsup: My motto is 'no fair googling', not fair to the OP, when they make such an effort to provide something fun that exercises the old brain. I try to figure it out, and if not, I wait for someone to hit the jackpot. I'm happy Sifu does these, very interesting!

 

[Happyflowerlady]

Okay, another one of these wild blue ideas.....but , if you put a lemon in there, and poked it with the spikes, then you could squeeze the juice out to make lemonade , maybe ?

 

[Pappy]

For punching holes in this persons ear? (All at once)

For punching holes in this persons ear? (All at once)

OUCH!!!!!!!

Don't know what that device is, but I hope it isn't used to pierce flesh!
