What is it? Game 72

Some sorta medieval Bottleopener….
for them medieval bottles…

wait, is it a candlestick holder?!

It’s a champagne cork remover

It is a holder for a joint of meat, one clamps the bone into the device and it enables you to carve it without burning your fingers.

I would guess it’s either a holder of something, like candles, mentioned earlier. Or, it is a meant as a lever component. These two are merited by the handle-like thing at one end, at the other end is a clamp. So… my guess is it’s a holder-of-something.

Or, you know. It’s part of a lightsaber.

One of those fancy knives to make Radish Roses?

Speculum

An ice cream scoop!! a badly designed one?

This device would have been used, possibly originally in Germany, for the interrogation of alleged criminals. It would be inserted into a body cavity and tension would be released expanding the arms within said body cavity. Ouch!

steampunk beer koozie.

Looks like a welding tool, used to keep you from getting burned while heating up the object?

It’s a corkscrew or champagne bottle opener. Very pretty

I think Alex is right, it’s a speculum. Doesn’t actually look a whole lot different from what they’re using in the office these days… minus the screw…

Anal Spreader

Used for impacted bowels or inspection of colon

It’s a nipple stretcher. It’s used by breastfeeding mothers with inverted nipples whose babies can’t obtain a latch.

me thinks it be a sort of fruit pitter

an 18th century sex toy (for those with a special fetish)

It seems that only french people know this thing (Im french too), and I agree for the “pince à gigot” ( translated : lamb’s leg clamp).

Definitely a speculum, tighten the screw to narrow the tip for insertion, and loosen the screw to spread the love.

looks like an apple corer to me.

Vintage LASIK device

Totally a nipple clamp.

its an old olympic torch. they still used burning sticks of wood

Aw – nutcracker is taken already!

Cherry pitter?

A holder for a leg of ham when carving.

It must be a pickle picker, for those pickle barrels at old timey stores!

A chirurgical instrument.

It is a tool used to maintain a leg of mouton when you carve it. Is fixed on the bone.

A ‘Mefshal’ or pig’s tail straightener. Ancient Uzbek customs likened the pig to devil worship because of their winding tail. Before slaughtering a hog for consumption the tail was ‘straightened’and the swine was ritually killed by a Precholphus, a butcher who was also an ordained preist. The only place in the world where you can still get Uzbek ‘cleansed’ pork in Queens, New York City.

i’m thinkin candle stick holder… an old one
