23. bladegirl
    April 2nd, 2009 at 9:10 am

    the original ron popeil prototype.
    it slices, it dices, it juliennes!
    and it tenderizes, separates eggs, juices, and protects the hut or disciplines those who dare to question the ownder!

24. brianch

35. BigDog6164
    April 2nd, 2009 at 10:11 am

    Is it a device to remove corn (maze) from the cob?

36. Ric
    April 2nd, 2009 at 10:18 am

    It's a cotton gin, to remove the seeds from cotton, but instead of the large ones this is a hand held one fluff of cotton at a time kind of guy.

40. Jboss
    April 2nd, 2009 at 10:28 am

    It takes the kernels off the skin...er, I mean cob. My grandma used to make me use one of these in Mexico, then put the kernels through a fine grinder. And all for what...to feed chickens, damn those chickens!

44. Nymori
    April 2nd, 2009 at 11:01 am

    An old-fashioned way of getting rid of those stubborn, huge calluses. Instead of using sandpaper or an emery board, just stick the afflicted appendage into the cup and sand away!

51. Xinavera
    April 2nd, 2009 at 12:16 pm

    Definitely a corn sheller. Removes the kernels from a dried ear of corn. I've used one myself.

52. jason d. covington
    April 2nd, 2009 at 12:25 pm

    It's a "corn grinder." It's used to remove the kernels from the corn cob. When my Mum was in 2nd grade, she got her hand caught in this exact model. Didn't do much damage but there was blood everywhere, according to her. She used the resulting scars to tell her left hand from her right for the next few years. The chickens, who were fed the bloody corn, didn't seem to mind the extra flavoring.

53. Alasdair
    April 2nd, 2009 at 12:26 pm

    Ice grinder.
    Or a meat grinder, but that's already been said...

    @SenorMysterioso: I completely agree with you. KEEP THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!!

54. ioan

    Corn sheller. My parents in Romania still use one of those.

55. Randall
    April 2nd, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    It is not a meat grinder! It is a musical instrument, called a Krutchenatoria No. 7. It was played in the 1860's by traveling musicians throughout europe. Seen in marketplaces and streetcorners, they fell into disfavor by their gradual association with harlotry, eventually being banned by writ of a papal bull.

    Its sound, when played properly, is curiously arousing.

56. messwav
    April 2nd, 2009 at 1:06 pm

    My dad has a couple of these. It's meant to be used for removing corn kernels (uncooked of course, and generally field corn) from the cob, although another creative use he has for them is removing the outer husks from black walnuts. Talk about a yucky black-stained mess.

57. thisnerdiscool

60. soke2001

73. pkempf
    April 2nd, 2009 at 8:25 pm

    I've seen this used to grind corn into meal, but I'm pretty sure Mike Rowe also used something like this on Dirty Jobs to grind fish into chum.

74. Johnny Cat
    April 2nd, 2009 at 8:52 pm

    Garlic grinder? Do these things ever have a winner? It seems like a few people are positive it's a corn thingy remover, but no acknowledgement. Seen that before, too.

75. ted

    It's a grinder. There's a piece inside that you can switch out for different grind, uh, resolution. Grind meat or grain, chop nuts, make baby food... we had one when I was a kid. We didn't use it that often because Mum found it was a pain to get the thing clean after.
