  Looks like it was used for cutting strips of clay.

• MoonCake
  May 15th, 2008 at 4:17 am

  It’s a tool used to prepare sheetrock/wallboard joints for taping and “mud.”

• CMart
  May 15th, 2008 at 5:21 am

  It appears to be a tool for creating “cracks” in sidewalks… you know, those “cracks” every few feet or so that make the sidewalk look like it’s separate pieces joined together. I know I described this in a crummy way, sorry!

• Jim
  May 15th, 2008 at 5:23 am

  Looks like a expansion joint seam former for fresh concrete. Usually they slide, but maybe they tried roller versions?

• Jim
  May 15th, 2008 at 5:25 am

  Darn - my wife harassed me for 2 minutes, and CMart beat me with the comment while I was still typing!

• CMart

  Joints… that’s what I meant. Not cracks… I think joints is the word I meant. I THINK.

• Joh3n

  It’s the device used to make the ‘crack’ for plumber dolls!

• CMart

  I think this is a masonry tool used for finishing edges of plasterwork or cement.

• Craig Clayton
  May 15th, 2008 at 6:02 am

  I believe it is used to roll a rubber type of material into a track, around doors or large openings.

• Dave LaMorte
  May 15th, 2008 at 6:12 am

  I think it’s a fudging wheel. It’s used to make things produced in a factory look like their hand made.

• nick
  May 15th, 2008 at 6:19 am

  holy smokes! where did you find that? i’ve been looking for that since my time travel days back in the early 90’s. it’s a single ice skate for robots. if i could get that back it would be much appreaceated.

  Concrete groove roller. Nothing more, nothing less.

• Farina

  Is it to make a well or groove in soil to plant seeds?

• seesbeauty
  May 15th, 2008 at 7:25 am

  Is it for making expansion joints in sidewalks?

• Fuzz

  Is it a seam roller to create seams it pants etc?

• Mel Phistopheles

  Oh, you are all so wrong. This is an antique surgical instrument. It is a little or unknown fact that one in 250,000 or so children are born with a completely flat bottom. It’s True! (I read it on the internets.) Well, this tool is a surgical creaser, used to impart those unfortunate children with a, for lack of a better term, butt crack. I’m surprised that there isn’t a telethon for this disorder.

  It’s the Pin Striper 9000! A cousin to the ever-popular beadazzler, the Pin Striper 9000 turns those boring monochrome suits that are just gathering dust in your closet into 1940’s sheik.

  Simply roll the Pin Striper 9000 in the color paint of your choosing (or purchase the Pin Striper 9000 accessory kit that includes the Easy Glide Paint Applicator) and then roll your suit from drab to debonaire!

  Not only can the Pin Striper 9000 tackle suits, but you can pinstripe everything from your mom’s favorite little black dress to your least favorite cat. So easy to use! And it’s great for the kids:

• erin

  Every so often a baby is born without a buttcrack. As there is a briefest window of opportunity, during which a baby’s flesh is still pliable, this tool is kept on hand in hospital delivery rooms to give these poor souls a working, respectable buttcrack.

  It’s a Pizza cutter from the 1880s. Looks like an early version of the 1890s pizza cutter.

  It creases paper for folding

• Randall

  Its Crundel Veloker. It seperates heets of crundel prior to amalganization for better seepage control. Without this handy little gadget, bigfoot’s UFO wouldn’t have that nice glow as it delivers kipper to all the stranded sea monsters around the world.

• cardo

  Its a sod cutter. The serfs used to use them in the 1500’s.

• Thomas

  Candymaker’s fudge cutter. Like a pizza cutter, but it flattens out the area around the cut as it goes.

• Thomas
  May 15th, 2008 at 11:12 am

  Could also be for cutting pastry

• Russ Higgins

  This device brings back many memories! The nuns at my school use to use this. They would tell all of us children to line up in a row-barefooted. This was rolled along at our feet to ensure that we were in a perfect row. I miss the tip of my big toe every day.

• Schwa

  Could it be an idea for roller-skating that never succeeded? Sorry, I’m half-asleep

• George

  A material (cloth) pattern cutter.

• BrianB
  May 15th, 2008 at 7:04 pm

  Ah, these are actually known as pathing wheels, a replacement part for standard office chars. Originally, advertisers were pushing for “More productive employees, rolling around the office faster, able to create their own groove paths in the floor.”

  The basic idea was that if you rolled back and forth to a spot really quick, then you’d make a nice grove to quickly and directly move to your location. However, when many employees started doing figure-eight paths, many would fall out of their chairs, resulting in lawsuits. It’s a real shame, because I could definitely use these to carve myself a path to the cafeteria right now.

• tripleX

  With this tool you can push material, like textiles, in a groove.

• tripleX
  May 15th, 2008 at 7:32 pm

  Or you make a groove with it to guide your sawing.

• nick

• Dogamule

  A Board Spacer or a Floor Board spacer.

  You roll in the grooves of the floor and the sound tells you if you’re hitting bare floor.

  Something with Woodcrafting/Woodwork.

  Liked the Pasta guess and the door crack sealant. Seems like good guesses.

  Want to piss off your neighbor? Roll this thing through some black paint (or if the house is black, make it something great like neon green) and leave a nice big wake up message for them on the sides of their house under cover of night. Due to the unique design of this writing instrument, you can reach nice and high, without a ladder, which always can leave unnecessary evidence behind. Works great with other mediums, such as syrup, pig blood, manure or even glitter glue.
  Comes with a paint pan, but don’t leave it at the scene of crime. Our logo is on it.

  Is it a medieval paper cutter, line maker, thingamajig?

• Jose
  May 15th, 2008 at 11:54 pm

  This is a territory marker. The user uses it like a scooter and runs with it in front. The heavy head makes grooves in the ground, and either party can construct a fence or start planting seeds for a hedge. This is especially useful for rectangular plots.

• Jose
  May 16th, 2008 at 12:04 am

  This is a Time saving twin flattener. Two strips of anything can be flattened side by side with a clear separation between them. This device saves time and helps create identical strips. A blessing before the assembly line technique came into being.

• emily2187

  It’s a tool for separating Lego bricks, or smashing them if they refuse to yield.

  It’s an ice scoring tool, sort of like a glass cutter. You take it to a frozen lake, walk out onto the ice, jab it in and mark a big “X.” Then you invite your wealthy uncle who has no surviving relatives, except for yourself, and help him pick the spot where he’ll plant his chair.

• Ninja girl

  All of the paint roller guesses were close. This is a holy relic from the earliest days of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. This roller was used to paint His Noodly Appendage reaching out to mankind in Michelangelo’s masterpiece The Creation of Adam.

  I guess my verbose vernacular about the Cleft Chin Refiner (which is what this thing is btw) was too.. edgy? Um.. maybe it was the whole part about “The Chin of the Gods”… or how it will make people more pr!ckish. Odd. Well, maybe this time it will get posted.

  Pasta cutter or an edge trimmer, for taking the grass away from the edge of sidewalks? y’know? You roll it along the edge of the sidewalk and it cuts the grass.

• Jen Worthington
  May 16th, 2008 at 10:30 pm

  I think it’s a paper scorer.

• Bart
  May 17th, 2008 at 7:27 am

  This could be used much like a pizza cutter, but for softer materials, like dough or clay. That’s what the roll is for: to prevent the edges from rising while you cut.

• tripleX
  May 17th, 2008 at 2:13 pm

  Maybe a herbs-crusher, -cutter. Or for making kif.

• tripleX
  May 17th, 2008 at 2:18 pm

  Or a measuring tool. If there is a mark on it, you can use it to measure length. Every rotation is a certain length.

• AJ
  May 17th, 2008 at 2:28 pm

  It’s a hand-held roller for making joints (seams) in pervious pavement (e.g., concrete sidewalks) and the like. You would think there would be a more complex tool to assure straight lines, but the folks who wield these tools are pros.

• AJ
  May 17th, 2008 at 8:56 pm

  You have found one of my grandmother’s peanut brittle cutters. Her brittle was anything but. This cutter helped score sheets of her igneous confections for cracking and could be turned on its side as a smashing implement when mood required.
