What is it? Game 44

This week's collaboration with What is it? Blog brings us this strange contraption: can you guess what it is for?

Place your guess in the comment section - one guess per comment, please! You can guess as many times as you'd like. Please post no URL, so others can play. No prize this week - you're playing for fun and bragging rights only.

For more clues, check out What is it? Blog.

Update 11/9/07 - the answer is:
"The X Rays Egg Tester", manufactured by The Reeves-Rigling Egg Tester Co., Hamilton, Ohio, Patent number 940,361. Also known as an egg candler, these were used for detecting embryonic development or for separating shell eggs.


Congratulations to Bill #14 who got it right!

It is a soviet army biscuit buttering machine. Called a "Kampechnya' Nudfatna Vechnitatak" (Stlins Whore) by the troops it has been used to make a rough tasting vodka from wood chips or delouse sleeping clothes, depending on the region. No one has ever figured out how to butter biscuits with it. Although it is offically listed as a biscuit buttering machine, no one in the soviet army is exactly sure why.

The CIA spent over 17 million dollars researching its deployment.

one of the filters used in oder to pump up water from like a lake that is attached at the end of the hose to kewep stuff from being sucked into the water, for like firefighter helicopters used to drop water on fires.

It is a kerosene powered railway signal. It has different reflectors to signal whether a train is coming or going, and a couple of knobs at the bottom to control how bright the flame is. Judging by the two screw mounts on the top, I'd say it was meant to hang on a wall, probably at the station itself.

I'll have to say it does look like the sinks from the bathroom in Hogwarts, but I think it really is a sink. Three sinks and mirrors for a public place, such as maybe a locker room.

it's a fun fair game, where you have to pee on the propane flames and extinguish them as fast as possible.
The winner has a free meal at the local diner with Emilda the Ouzbek bearded woman.

Great guesses, guys! The answer is Egg Candler (guessed right by Bill #14).

I agree with c-dub #35. Randall is definitely a genius and the best part of this blog. I wouldn't dare go head to head with him in a game of Balderdash.
