   It looks like something one might have used to yank out a baby in the old days. Then again, that could just be a nightmare of mine.

   Abortion tool.

   No fetus can beat us

   It has something to do with candles... Like setting hot jars or hot candles into place.

   Some kind of torture device....surely

   This is a ches' pont nimbler used in pastry and cake decorating. Oddly enough its use was banned in the Duchy of Moldavia because of a dream the Baroness had and related to her 2nd hairdresser, who fortold the Dukes demise at the hands of a Pastrey Cheof' armed with this instrument.

   Oddly enough he was run over by a tank during military exercises, the corparal-chef who was in comand of the tank was named:....Chespont.

   Hmm, handling something, but no idea what.....
   Would've said for cutting branches if the edges weren't dull...... uhm.. so I'll guess....

   Tool for handling hot metal pipes?

    A circumcision tool known as a top chopper.

    looks like a hoof tester to me

    circumciser

    I don't know, but keep it away from my groin region.

    dry ice handlers

15. Jay Calvert
    January 22nd, 2009 at 9:40 am

    I think it is for handling blocks of ice.

16. Jay Calvert
    January 22nd, 2009 at 9:41 am

    I should say, blocks of normal ice.

17. uptonty
    January 22nd, 2009 at 9:51 am

    and elastrator...used to castrate horses...at least that's what the tool looked like on that tv show "dirty jobs" a while back...it was soo gross!

18. Terry
    January 22nd, 2009 at 10:05 am

    It's for picking up eggs!

19. Adam S.
    January 22nd, 2009 at 10:13 am

    It's a wire stripper for old knob and tube wiring

    TONGS!!! TONGS!!! I KNOW I'M RIGHT!!! TONGS!!!

21. Lew A
    January 22nd, 2009 at 10:19 am

    A tool for handling molten metal... should have a cup that holds the metal, then that clamps around the cup and you can pour it into a mold (or something).

22. ali

    its used to neatly crack off the top of a soft boiled egg.

23. andoullah
    January 22nd, 2009 at 10:36 am

    I'm with Jenna on the candle idea. I think it was used to scrape melted wax off the sides of a candle.

24. gingercorsair
    January 22nd, 2009 at 10:40 am

    I think it is a set of metalsmithing tongs. We use something similar to transfer and quench our beakers during the casting process.

    Lew may also be correct, they could be used to hold the crucible as well.

    Can't wait to find out if I'm right!

25. Hairfarmer Steve
    January 22nd, 2009 at 10:43 am

    It's tongs for holding hot rivets.

26. ross
    January 22nd, 2009 at 10:45 am

    horse cicumcisers?

27. Sniperman
    January 22nd, 2009 at 10:47 am

    any decent rabbi should know this, its a circumcision tool, of course!

28. Diana
    January 22nd, 2009 at 11:02 am

    I think that it is a test tube holder. And it only shuts so much, so that the test tube doesn't break. Glass is delicate, after all.

29. nick
    January 22nd, 2009 at 11:19 am

    calipers for a lathe.

30. kildog
    January 22nd, 2009 at 11:31 am

    It's for holding a horse's hoof when puting new shoes on.

31. Jessica

    "I don’t know, but keep it away from my groin region."

    You, me and just about every male who looked at the picture thought that.

33. Jill
    January 22nd, 2009 at 11:57 am

    Is it a thing to hold coal and carry it around?

34. Andrei
    January 22nd, 2009 at 12:08 pm

    I think it's a tool to shape glass.

35. Edward
    January 22nd, 2009 at 12:48 pm

    It does look very much like a glass tool. Specifically, it would be used to create a bottle neck.

36. Nick
    January 22nd, 2009 at 12:59 pm

    looks like a tool to hold a cup full of hot melted liquids, possibly melted metals for making metal casts of things.

37. Scott-O
    January 22nd, 2009 at 2:03 pm

    The tool used by my ex to remove my soul.

38. Pola
    January 22nd, 2009 at 2:09 pm

    A tool to shape glasses!

39. utron
    January 22nd, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    looks like tongs for coals in a fire

40. tripleX
    January 22nd, 2009 at 3:08 pm

    Could be for getting laundry out of the hot water, or turning it around, etc.

41. tripleX
    January 22nd, 2009 at 3:30 pm

    It's torture not to know what Miss Cellania thinks it could be.

42. Kent
    January 22nd, 2009 at 3:46 pm

    Tis but an iron rendition of a tool to seperate the testicles from the body

43. Cheezwiz
    January 22nd, 2009 at 3:49 pm

    I believe it's a can opener.

44. godwal
    January 22nd, 2009 at 3:50 pm

    Large cigar cutter.

45. tripleX
    January 22nd, 2009 at 4:05 pm

    Maybe it's for handling logs in a fire place?
    It just looks like tongs you can use for anything you need tongs for: hold something hot, remove a big bullet, deliver a baby, cut of a ball or two, stripping some leaves, pour some acid, pick your nose or a pocket. Great invention, tongs.

46. yikesy
    January 22nd, 2009 at 6:06 pm

    I think it's an old-style tonsillectomy tool.

47. mouserz
    January 22nd, 2009 at 7:01 pm

    testicular clamp

48. Nymori
    January 22nd, 2009 at 9:50 pm

    I do believe that it's an old tool primarily used on the Irish holiday of St. Patrick's Day. When a person forgets or refuses to wear green, this tool is used for an extra-painful pinch.

49. Some Canadian Skeptic
    January 23rd, 2009 at 1:36 am

    The look like tongs to pick up hot coals for use in a sauna.

50. elmaroon

    i say this is or was the tool... for ... ähem eunuch?

    I know what it LOOKS like.

52. Dionne
    January 23rd, 2009 at 9:03 am

    Used to pick up tubes out of dry ice.

53. tripleX
    January 24th, 2009 at 3:29 pm

    Maybe for taking of the top or lid of a jar? Or unscrewing a lid.

54. tripleX
    January 24th, 2009 at 4:00 pm

    Just resized the picture to about 10 inches. Could be for opening bottles, not jars?

55. Bacz
    January 25th, 2009 at 1:55 am

    I believe it is a castration tool used for animals. Just rip those balls right off.

56. Alex

    Hah! Nobody got it!

57. Minbari
    March 14th, 2009 at 2:05 pm

    Looks to me, like a glassblowers cutting tool, used to cut of the finished object from the stubb.
