What is it? Game 83

Posted by Alex in What Is It on November 27, 2008 at 7:19 am


Today’s collaboration with the What is it? blog brings us this strange contraption (no – it’s not a gun). Can you guess what it is?

Place your guess in the comment section – no prize this week, so you’re playing for fame and glory only. For more clues and guessing fun, check out the What is it? blog. Good luck!

Update 11/28/08 – The answer is: “The American Bull Dog Boot Jack”, used for removing boots, patent number 329,576.

That was too easy (the answer was in the photo itself)!

    Colonel Mustard, in the Library, with the Revolver. This is the revolver in question.

    In German: its a "Stiefelknecht"

    To remove your dirty boots without getting dirty hands.

    This one is easy, as any American Bulldog knows...especially one named Jack who wears boots...

    Maybe it is a lighter?

    "Stiefelknecht" = "bootjack", but i don't think so.

    It is a hole punch device for leather and other things.

    Well, itès abviously a bootkjack, but I would say that it could probably double as a badass paperweight.

    I'm gonna go with pipe case, with room for tobacco in the pistol-whipping area of the object.

    It has hinges, so it opens up. Holds something. Could be some kind of freaky snuff holder, but I doubt it.

    rifle rest/ rifle stand ???

    It's a gun you use when you are out of ammunition. You stick the two barrels up the nose of your attacker and open and close the gun like you are clapping your hands.

    Yeah, those hinges on top make me think this is some kind of fake revolver purse for men.
