Today's offering doesn't have much information attached to it, except to say that it was used in the home and was made of some sort of metal.

WHAT IS IT?
 
Looks like a candle snuffer......but it obviously isn't.

There.....that has made everybody think along the wrong lines...
 
Thank you, Viv - any and all help at throwing them off the trail is appreciated. ;)

But no, not a candle snuffer, although that's what I thought it was at first as well.
 
pasta shaper ?

Not a pasta shaper ...

Pasta sharpener?

... nor a pasta sharpener ...


Ice cream scoop?

I Scream "SCOOP"!


DING! DING! DING!

We have a winna'!!!

CeeCee

What you didn't see - because I was hiding it from you all - was the underside -

Yes, that little key-thingie on top was the equivalent of the thumb-press button on modern scoopers.

Congrats to CeeCee and Honorable Mention to That Guy - and thanks everyone for playing! :D
