Update 9/5/08 - the answer: A steak tenderizer, patent number 525,595, the plates pivot so that they can be cleaned, they can also be removed to sharpen the teeth. No one got it right!

This is a Habling Rickler. When Raccon skin coats were all the rage you would need to get your great coat 'rickled' in time for the first cold snap. If you didn't attend to the garments maintenence, it would tend to matt and bunch, especially under the arms and in the seat.

When the great depression came people would go without eating lunches for a week rather than suffer the humiliation of having strangers snigger and say 'Getcha Rickle, yer butt's matted!' It is reported that some victims have resorted to suicide.
