This week's collaboration with What is It? Blog brings us this mysterious object (more clues at the What is It?). Can you guess what it is?
Place your guess on the comment section (please post no URL, let others play). Two Free T-Shirts as prizes: one for first correct guess, and another one for funniest/most creative guess.
Update 6/1/07: The answer is :
Book clamp, in the days before book bags, this was invented to be used for carrying books. Patent number 198,437No one got it right, but I was tickled by #19 Awko's guess that the device is for the "lost art of snake pressing." Just what kind of snake were you referring to Awko? ;) So, congrats! You got the t-shirt for funniest guess.

It is a clamp used to hold wool while it was being carded prior to spinning it into thread.
