What Is It? - #45

Anchor for Santas sleigh in the snow

Ok, the hint was for Copenhagen, so I am thinking that this gadget must be for opening a little packet of snuff ?

 

[Diwundrin]

Is it a guide for slicing or handling cheese?

 

[SifuPhil]

Sounds like my old girlfriends measurements......

You don't know just how long I spent visualizing that ...

Buckles on your snow boots so you can walk and have traction in ice ?

Mermaid's belt buckle

Is it the flap that they lifted to light the cannons??

Is it a peep hole cover on an old door??

could it be something to do with a musket ???

Anchor for Santas sleigh in the snow

Is it a guide for slicing or handling cheese?

Not used for traction in the snow
Nor found at mermaid's waist,
Not found on cannons just before
They lay a town to waste.
Not used to cover up a hole
Nor found on muskets old,
Not used to anchor Santa's sleigh,
Nor slicing off cheese mold.


... but ...

Something to do with snuff???

Ok, the hint was for Copenhagen, so I am thinking that this gadget must be for opening a little packet of snuff ?

DING! DING! DING!

We have two winnas!!!


Anne correctly deduced that the item has something to do with snuff, and HappyFlowerLady expanded that answer to include the specific function of Opening a Can of Snuff!

Another view -



Congrats to Anne and HappyFlowerLady and thanks as always to everyone for playing!

Congratulations Anne and Happyflowerlady. You two must be the only ones on this site who dip snuff. :lofl:

 

[Diwundrin]

Congrats girls.

... never heard of it so it could have taken me a while to get that one.

 

[Rainee]

Never in a million years would I have ever guessed that item.. what a great quiz, sure had me captured and made me
think but alas not what I had thought at all. congrats to the winners.. thanks also for the fun I loved it ..

 

[Jillaroo]

Congratulations Anne & HFL

 

[SeaBreeze]

Congrats Anne and Happyflowerlady! :woohoo: Thanks Phil for another interesting WII...after a piece of pie shaper, my mind went blank. :thanks:

 

[Anne]

Opening the can, of course!!!! Phil gave us the Copenhagen hint, but I only got that far!!!! Congrats, happyflowerlady, for your correct guess!!!!

I have to admit - after I posted that hint I figured I should try following it, so I entered the coordinates into Google Maps.

I ended up in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

I tried several more times and ended up, respectively, in Fukushima, Japan; the far western end of the Nairobi Desert, and Main and 3rd Streets in Kissandtell, Iowa.

Turns out I was entering the coordinates in the wrong format. Then I was worried that no one would be able to follow the hint, but I'm glad at least ONE person did.

You do realize you cost me an hour of my life trying to find something iconic about the city of Copenhagen to relate it to because I've never encountered snuffin' baccy let alone a brand of it to connect to the coordinates right??

btw, you wasted some time on Google Maps too, I just pasted the coordinates into search and up popped Copenhagen.

 

[Anne]

LOL, I felt foolish because I got to Copenhagen; the only thing I could think of was the brand of snuff, and thought, it cannot be that, must be something else, but guessed it anyhow.....

Phil, HFL must have done that, too, as she guessed right!!

You're despicable.
