   A fixture for setting rivets, or hobnails.

   I think it’s one of those things that old time photographers would put on a stick and put flash powder into the scoop part.

    looks like something you put on your knee when sitting while doing some kind of metal work.

    Looks like some sort of grometing tool.

    It looks like a paper weight.

    It’s a bole shoe for a Moraxion rohglehornica, a combination woodwind precussion instrument used by Morax shepherds to call in their flocks. In the 1800’s the Morax finally donesticated dogs and stopped using the quarter ton pig iron istruments and they were abondoned to rust. However some survied when building were built around them and they found a second live as kilns for love fetish dolls used in Morax courtships. Modern use has seen them played once more, but due to their association they are used as background music in risque Morax movies, as their sound resembles the bleating of sheep.

    It’s an attachment (to a column, for instance) to secure a horizontal rod (like a closet rod)

    Ooooh, this is a good one. So far, twenty two guesses and no one got it right yet!

    I think it’s a shoulder shield. You’d need two of them. The recessed knob areas would support pieces of a crossbeam. Kind of like a slightly more tech-savvy version of the stick across the shoulders with water buckets hanging down either side. This doo-hickey would help stabilize the load and distribute the pressure.

    Its an old fashioned hot water bottle. There would have been a stopper in the top and it would be filled with steaming hot water (maybe?).

28. nathan

    a cannon attachment, perhaps?

    A new DRM tool for the RIAA to attach to compact discs?
    or
    The world’s first attempt at a pencil sharpener?
    or
    A tiny volcano. Part of a “toys for insects” movement?

    Personally I’d use it as a paperweight. You have my curiosity soaring you know.

    Probably a kind of chastity belt?

32. chris

35. Alex
    April 6th, 2007 at 3:33 pm

    The answer is … nutcracker! No one got it, although Kev #13 was close in that he identified it was put on a knee.
