It is once again time for our collaboration with the ever-amusing What Is It? Blog! Do you know what this object is? If not, can you fake it?
Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Post no URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will each win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop.
Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?
Check out the What Is It? Blog for more clues, and more mystery items. Put your thinking cap on, and good luck!
Update: the very first answer was correct -it's a form for baking bread (or a "bread mold" which sounds like a fungus). Anker wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop for knowing that! The funniest answer came from The Professor, who said, "It’s a good old-fashioned can of whoop-ass!" he wins a t-shirt, too! See the answers to all the mystery items of the week at the What Is It? blog.

Yes my now closed local bakery used to sell bread made in these molds and it was called at least by my father milk bread.
You can still buy them

His guitar was stolen and a similar guitar turned up in the window of a secondhand shop a few days later. He went into the shop asked to look at the guitar and played a few licks. Satisfied that it was his guitar he asked if he could look at it outside the dingy shop to check the finish. The shopkeeper agreed and our hero(?) ran from the shop doorway to a friend's waiting car and took off. The friend received a visit from the police later that same day, obviously the shopkeeper had clocked the registration.
As a result of this the police paid a call to the main protagonist of this tale. Turns out it wasn't the same guitar. The shopkeeper could produce not only proof that the instrument in question had been in his shop for some weeks, but that he had all the paperwork for it including tags (with serial number) and the original sales receipt (with serial number).
Our hero did not know the serial number of his instrument and indeed when he managed to find the original sales receipt as evidence for the police he discovered that it was different from the one he'd stolen. Luckily for him the police and the shopkeeper were pretty understanding and he got nothing more than a stern talking to and had to apologize in person to the shop keeper.
Also Cops are useless.
