What is it? Game 81

I’m never good at these. I’ll say a pitchfork for olives.

It’s a broken trident.

Something to move logs/branches in a lumber mill context?

clearly it is a tool for bothering cute babies and small animals

It is used in logging…and as a marital aid.

This is Norwegian shepards Husker Gudak, or calling fork. Norway is a rugged land and normal dogs cannot cope with running up and down hills to gather sheep. A specail breed, the Norwegian Furduu, was bred and had one set of legs shorter than the other to cope with the steep hills. Its ears also wear offset, one being stronger than the other, so when called, they tended to run in circles. However, it was found that they could not hear some tones on both ears and when they were called using this fork, struck with the traditional elk horn hammer, they would gather the sheep straight away. Incidently, its carried on a twenty-five foot staff which caused many deaths when Norway hung their first power lines.

It’s a old law enforcement tool for pinning prisoners necks to a wall/the ground. The middle spike discouraged struggling.

It is use for rolling logs around in a fire pit, oven, or fireplace.

Yeah, Jimbo, that’s what I’d use it for. Or maybe a backscratcher.

Vintage metal Salvador Dali mustache on a stick.

Is it a prostate checker? Well, that’s what the doctor told me it was….

I’m not sure what is was designed for, but I bet you could torture someone with it.

I don’t know if I can guess twice… but since there is no prize and nobody has suggested it; Is this a tool used to take off your boots?

Is it an old-fashioned cattle prod?

It’s a medieval torture device. Used to “catch” witches or criminals.

it’s used to pry horseshoes off a horses hoof

It’s a peavey. It was used by log-drivers to manipulate logs floating down the river.

its a medieval tool used for roasting marshmellows over fires

Possible a “show stick”, which I just read of in the late David Foster Wallace’s books of essay’s? Used to prod cattle, swine, horses on show at (in this case) state fairs.

It’s most definitely a log tool. It’s used to push and hook logs into place.

Its an oarlock

I think its a tedder for haymaking.

Fish spear

It is a neck pinning device used on slaves and prisoners.

One wonders how often slaves/prisoners were pinned to the ground that a special tool was created just for the job.
