   It's a toaster for use at a fireplace

   Can't get a scale on it, but I would say a toaster for use over open fireplaces.

   A rake to release cranberries from the plant after the field is flooded. Cranberries float to the top of the water so they can be harvested.

   It's an antique napkin holder designed to stretch down to the other side of the table where that bastard of a husband of yours is sitting with mustard all over his face.

   I agree, it's a toaster. Wish I would have gotten up a little earlier today!

   It's a rack for deep frying decks of playing cards, because you never know when you'll need a deep fried deck of playing cards. This one is TOO easy.

   It is for toasting bread over an open flame. Or a Barbie Drawbridge.

    toaster, for sure.

    Definitely a toaster.

    What is this about cranberries? I'd like to see how that would work...

14. Chunkie

    It is actually a sandwich toaster, not just a bread toaster.

    A device for passing books to potentially violent prisoners. (And then hitting them with it).

    A trowel for leveling sidewalk cement.

    It's a bread toaster that was placed on the hearth in front of an open fire. The holder pivots to toast the bread on both sides.

    I remember that from Reading Rainbow back in the day, Levar Burton used a similar toaster in one episode about colonial American toast and how it was ultimately responsible for winning the Revolutionary War, or something like that, I can't really remember, I was only like 7.

    It's a 19th century device for delivering sandwiches to the upper floors of buildings. The precursor to the hot dog slingshot.

20. Shawn
    September 25th, 2008 at 11:36 am

    It's a device used to raise glass panes to a glazier.

    Jill: Surely you'd want to rub mustard /in/, not off?

    I gotta say its a toaster

23. Patrick
    September 25th, 2008 at 1:52 pm

    It's a toaster to be used in a fireplace or open fire.

    Toaster!

    Def. a hearth toaster -- I used to work for a living history museum and that was one of the objects I got to demonstrate in the kitchen

26. TwoDragons

    Well I was GOING to say an old-timey fireplace toaster, but it looks like everyone else is saying that too.

    So instead, I'll state for the record that it's a banana.

    Looks like a toast holder of sorts. Put it over the fire and try to make toast.

    September 25th, 2008 at 11:34 pm

    Wow, everyone said toaster at once. Hivemind.

29. marcusbacus
    September 26th, 2008 at 12:11 am

    I'd say it's a nap holder too.

30. Ali S.
    September 26th, 2008 at 1:25 am

    It looks a bit like a holder for envelopes. And the top bit that looks like a straw is where I think one would put a pen.

31. Brian
    September 26th, 2008 at 5:53 am

    Yeah, when I first saw this I thought it looked like a toaster to use with a fireplace.

    Old fashioned toaster, even though that's what everyone thinks

    This one of a kind device was patented by Virgil 'Fingers' Wentrock. Virgil came up with an idea while working as a caretaker at the National Aquarium, after being released from the hospital due to a work related accident.

    Its a piranna feeder.

35. AdinaB
    September 26th, 2008 at 11:34 am

    It is a letter holder. The top does look like a pen holder. (I think that if it were a toaster for use in a fire, it would be blackened from use.)

36. Jimbo
    September 26th, 2008 at 2:07 pm

    It is use to beat the elderly at the nursing home.

    September 26th, 2008 at 6:11 pm

    Harley took my guess...
    a wet cement smoother/leveler

    Ah, too easy! Guessed right the first time. Congrats to ellrabin - you've got the bragging right!

    It looks like a miniature bridge used on rivers

    It's a toaster. You put the bread in between the racks and hold it over a fire.

    Pick me, Monty!
