What Is It? game 326

Hey look! It's time for our collaboration with the wonderful What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the object in this picture is? It doesn't really matter if you do, because we are looking for the funniest guesses. You can win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! But first, read the rules:

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Two winners who submit funny and/or clever (albeit ultimately wrong) answers 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?

There are more pictures of this thing, and other mystery items of the week at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update: This object is a meat tenderizer, patent number 2,495,989. That makes sense, but your incorrect answers were much funnier! A winning entry came from stapler, who was the first to see the obvious resemblance: “Designed and tested by Red Skull, this in an early Gillette Mach 6 shaving razor prototype.” Yep! The other t-shirt from the NeatoShop goes to sandyra, who said, “t's the cigarette loading/firing machine that shot out cigarettes at the fembots mouths in that Austin Powers movie. 6 fembots, 6 cigarettes. Perfect.” Congratulations to both! And thanks to the What Is It blog, where you can see the answers to all this week’s mystery items.

Hi !
It's a six blades razor prototype.
Patented , but not marketed ; oddly , the fifth blade cut a little bit of skin with the facial hair each time.

The first model of the Epilady leg hair remover, which was originally designed by the CIA as an interrogation device. [This joke brought to you by sleep deprivation and the '90s.]

It's a dual purpose, manual fuzz buster. Great for de-pilling sweaters AND shaving fuzzy faces. Sorry folks. It doesn't detect cops with radar guns.

It's a heavy duty stapler. It dispenses all its staples with only one big bash on the table.

You know, for those times when you have to staple all your tax forms for the last 31,415 years at the same time.

This is the prototype for the Gillette Hyperspace 2700 Wookie Trimmer. For those times you need to groom the walking carpet who co-pilots your ship, so you can get the princess.

My music teacher used to have one of these. Those white pieces of chalk, dragged across the chalkboard, draw a music staff in one swipe. But this one has 6 pieces, instead of 5... must be for guitar tabs!

It's the cigarette loading/firing machine that shot out cigarettes at the fembots mouths in that Austin Powers movie. 6 fembots, 6 cigarettes. Perfect.

In the early 70s, before there was a Sony Walkman or digital music players, there was this handheld portable audio cassette player prototype that could hold six tapes at once. Test listeners reveled in their new ability to hear Harry Nilsson's “Coconut” and, with just the push of a metal button, switch tapes to hear Lobo's “Me and You and a Dog Named Boo.”

You guys are tricky. I couldn't for the life of me figure this out. Then I looked at another view of it on the What Is It? blog -- idiot me! Of course! It's a travel melba toaster! I like how you didn't choose the obvious view here. But I get it... this is definitely the funniest view.
