Hahahaha @ Anton #32! Rob of What is it? Blog and I thought yours is the funniest.

Guessed right in just 12 minutes by maquessimme #2 – it’s an egg topper.

I’m going to say a crimper, too, but for the caps of
milk bottles, not beer bottles.

OH I actually know this one! It’s for taking the tops off boiled eggs!
But this looks like it’s mated with a pair of scissors and had horrible mutant offspring… maybe the one I have is just crippled (its got no handles, just two buttons you squeeze together)

It is used to cut the tops off of soft boiled eggs and I’ve been looking for one of these for ever. Where did you find it? Williams-Sonoma doesn’t sell them anymore.
I like a 4&1/4 minute soft boiled egg.

I’ve seen these before and they are used to cut the end of a cigar to prep it for smoking. A well made cigar often has sealed ends and needs to be cut so that they can be properly lit.

This is a perfect example of ‘Nefas-Fabrika-Legitimus’ or using the wrong thing in the right way. The device is a Crismus Freg, a handheld toll for primping a ruff collar. It works perfectly but no one wore ruff collars in 1923, when Mr. Rich Crismus invented it. After financing the manufacture of 10,000 of these, his backer hit upon a brilliant idea and put an ad in a local newspaper with a picture of the freg with the title ‘What is it?’ The correct guesser won $25. After several unlikely suggestions a use for this device was discovered and now one can be found in nearly every hard boiled egg eating household in America.

I’m sure it’s an egg topper, but the phrase “Lorena Bobbitt’s Yard Sale” keeps coming to mind…

Hosnap! I found one of these in the kitchen drawers when i was little and it had to be my favorite “not-a-toy” anytime i could get my hands on it. But yes, other than working as an excelent monster mouth when chasing the little sister around, it can sometimes be used to cut the shell off the top off of a soft (or hard) boiled egg.

Long ago when the tin can was first invented people thought it a great idea. however no one had yet invented a good way of opening the can. This contraption is one of the first attempts at a can opener before we arrived at the one we all know and love.

It’s for removing the schmuck from the schlong.
Eventually, apart from that, also for removing the top from eggs.

It’s a virginity keeper: the girl ties it around her waist using the loops on the device, and when a guy tries to get lucky on her, *chop* the penis is cut off.
