What is it? Game 121

A clothes drier!

ITS FOR PROCESSING COTTON

A three note stereo boom box from 1890.

A linen (sheets, etc...) folding machine.

...a machine for making punch-hole sheet music?

Steampunk Roomba. Wind it up watch it sweep.

Old school weather sound effect machine for live plays, wind, thunder, lightning, that sort of thing :D

my first thought was a car mat cleaner, but since it might have been created before automobiles, i'm going to go with the bear skin rug cleaner. thumps the dirt right out. thump thump thump...

It's a music box.

Sound effects machine.

Music box/stand

Lotto/bingo number roller thingy

It's for beating the dirt out of something. Rugs maybe, or furs?

clothes wringer

It's a printing press!

A rock tumbler...

Clearly, it's a stationary, hand-cranked, R2D2 prototype. Or a clothes wringer.

It looks like a hand-cranking huge music box.

It's a"wind-machine" to make wind sound effects for plays or radio shows
(foley artist dealio)

It's a theatrical wind/storm machine. Looks like it does wind (upper roller and canvas sheet), rain (lower roller, probably a rotating rain stick), and thunder (the wooden slats).

It's a towel press.

I think this is an old tyme radio show special effects maker that reproduced weather effects.... or maybe not :)

Turn your small boat or canoe into your own floating casino with this Mini-Riverboat Hand Paddle.

a conveyor belt of some kind.

I'm going to guess it's some kind of hand-cranked music device. What with the sticking out wooden pegs and what looks like a pianola cylinder.

a music box!

During the Clone War, the need for R2 units increased exponentially. However, all metal was to be used making spacecraft, so, in a desperate attempt to make more R2s, the metalworkers turned to the forest moon of Endor and harvested it's wood. This object is one of the few remaining wooden R2s, for most of the others have eroded.

I Agree its a foley noise maker, for radio shows. The 6 slats have a tension adjuster at the bottom, that pulls them into the top roller..when the roller is turned, it creates two simultaneos sounds...like " ti-ta-tat"..like a horse gallop, trot, canter, walk, depending on the speed the crank is turned. The canvas thrown over roller could creat a dampened sound for a horse walking on softer surfaces.

It's possible :)

It is an antique.

It's for winding knitting yarn into balls.

Cotton Gin!!

It's a two-eyed, slack-jawed, stationary wooden people eater!

That's gotta be an instrument of torture.

It's a musical instrument. You turn the crank, which hits the different length boards, creating different tones.

It is a drum carder for wool.
The cleaned wool is run up through the bottom, onto the card.
The top "paddles" are for rolling the carded wool onto.

It's a wind-xylo bingo-loom. It simultaneously plays woodwind tones and percussion taps and tumbles bingo balls while weaving tapestries. It's a great time and labor saving device and makes the work and play much more enjoyable by providing musical accompaniment.

A lazy hamster wheel.

it's a rice huller

It's a crank that lowers a miniature drawbridge.

Probably pilfered by Gulliver during his visit to Lilliputia

For carding wool.

It's a loom, folded up, possibly a jacquard loom.

it's a trouser press.

I don't know what it is, but it sure is neat-o-rama

It's a clothes dryer

im pretty sure its a transformer ... AntiqueTRON!

Braille printing machine.

Its probably one of the first automated cotton gins.

It's an automatic spanker, early model. Now get over here and give Me the prize, minion.

The scale is deceptive, this is actually about fifty FEET tal, not 50 inches, and is the world's first (and, to my knowledge, only) merged church and ferris wheel.
The pews (at the top) rotate, giving the congregation a great view, while the organ plays (the pipes are hidden behind the slats)

Actually it is a felt making machine

An antique paper copier, predecessor to the modern photocopier.

It's a medieval slat-matrix printer, developed in the 1600's by Huge Profit (HP)company. While the printer itself was cheap, the ink was very expensive as it had to come from freshly-squeezed squid

It's a paddy whack - as in "With a knick-knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone" We all know what knick-knacks are, now you know what a paddy whack is. :-)

wall-e before 2012?

It is a Mouse Organ.

Developed by French polymath Theirie deGilliume, specially bred mice trained to produce specific sqeaking tones were fed from the wire hopper on to the rotating paddle wheel where they produce their specific notes as they are slapped by the wooden slats. The canvas flap protects the musician's clothing from bits of mouse fur and spatters of blood.

a drawbridge for helping lego people get across very small chasms

It's a machine used for breaking up stalks of flax to make linen.

It's a machine to simulate clapping by an audience (for events recorded in the studio)

its used to sew words to things

a mini drawbridge?

This is the only existing remnant of Edgar C. Rinklebottom's experimental steam-powered jet ski. This aft section is the paddle wheel and part of the steam powertrain. The craft, designed by Mr. Rinklebottom over a bar bet with Robert Fulton, was designed over three months in 1810 to propel one person on a heavily modified sleigh across the Hudson River. The paddle wheel seen here was all that remained after an accident that resulted in the death of Mr. Rinklebottom, two bystanders waiting on a dock, and a small family of ducks.

Legend has it that there was a riverboat race that day with Fulton, and Mr. Rinklebottom's boiler exploded while he was revving the steam engine at the starting line. In actuality, the mishap occurred because, while Edgar invested several thousand dollars developing the engine, he did not invest in "that newfangled piece of tin-scrap that Fulton chap tried to sell me as a safety valve."

Please note the wooden slats on the bottom right of the assembly. These slats were designed make a clatter of noise while the steam-paddleboat-sled was roaring along, similar to baseball cards in bicycle spokes. Claims that he also created an early prototype of the "Woo-woo whistle tip" muffler are unfounded, however.

Worst Masturbatory Aide EVER!

Shrike FTW!?

music box, a huge one
