What is it? Game 85

First.

Now that is funny...no-one has ever done that before.

It's an explostive assisted butter pat. In very cold weather, butter is too hard to be easily shaped using conventional pats, so these were developed - the grenade-like device on the back fired on impact, shaping the bit'o butter better. Strictly a one-shot device, a second swipe was rarely needed since the butter was often neatly deposited in the next county.

I'd have to say this is a candle snuffer.

This is a device that was crafted in the early 19th century that is used to extract a pound of flesh. Note the small cylinder with one open end. You hold this by the handle and in a swing that can only be described as a tennis lob shot, you strike the person and , of course, the little open end cylinder does the extracting. This device was later made illegal as there were too many politicians getting really nasty wounds while on the campaign trail.

pencil holder

It's a paddle-style hand grenade from the Great War. Many of these were improvised from found materials, so that's why it looks so odd. =D

I'm gonna guess.... uuuhm... it holds a small flag pole. Like a wall mounted kind of thing *shrug*

damn my imagination:

its some kind of a human circumcision device.

Candle Snuffer. To further elaborate, you hold the paddle handle, and bring it down over the candle. The 'top' end (the end away from the handle) of the tube is close, to prevent air or snuff the candle.

It's a rootbeer barrel mold, duh.

Today isn't Christmas :)...

Is it wine bottle opener?

Lew

A torture instrument smuggled out of Abu Ghraib?

Alex, where do you FIND these things? :O

I bet your attic is full of stuff like that which you don't have a clue about. :D

I think its a torch holder

It is a flag pole holder to be attached to a belt so it can be carried during a review or parade... I think.

It's a spanking paddle device for really naughty children. There's a hollow cylinder where you put the battery and a metal bolt that sticks through the paddle. When contact is made on the child's bottom, a small electrical charge is emitted, causing extra "shock". The paddle handle is wooden so the paddler doesn't get the electrical shock, only the paddlee. If the child is not so bad, just take the battery out and give a normal thwack to their bottom (sans electricity).

Usually just the sight of this device is enough to improve any child's behavior.

It's one reason why spanking is being outlawed in many places.

looks like a bdsm paddle. I've seen ones with objects that spell out 'slut' or various other words on the paddled behind and wouldn't be surprised if that object on it produced some kind of imprint as well.

It's a paddle, used as an instrument of torture.

It looks like the flag pole holder attached to horses so that when a rider has a flag in hand they can place the pole end into it for stability.

The paddle is used by special weapons and tactics teams for assaults on barricaded suspects. A flashbang is inserted into the circular holder on the paddle. Like the atlatl of the Aztecs, the paddle is swung overhead and the flashbang (or HE grenade) is thrown much further than a man could throw it unassisted. This is a crucial component of any SWAT member's loadout.

It reminds me of...
a hair straightener.
Bahaha

Honestly? It looks to me like a paddle-ball set that's lost the string and ball. The tube-y thing would be for catching the ball in.

Looks to me like a cutting board for cutting cylindrical objects such as carrots or hotdogs and keeps them from rolling away... either that or a puppy paddle.

That is a racquet grenade, for French WW1 soldiers, or persons who are very competitive at ping-pong.

The cylinder was stuffed with a charge and shrapnel, a little pipe bomb on a stick.

It's a paddle with a combination lock. The lock was put on by a mischievous little child to prevent punishment by his parents with the paddle.

Thats my grans bondage toy.

It looks like it'd be either an old sidewalk salter, or an ember/coal heated/weighted ice scraper.

Its a Calendar?!

The implement appears to have been affixed to a wall with the handle portion of the paddle facing upwards: observe the nail which is still present, as well as the three other holes reminiscent of nail holes. A stick or a hook would then perhaps be inserted into the metal opening. A hook seems more likely, as a straight pole would not rest very securely in the metal holder, given its size (about 4 inches?). Thus, an umbrella holder perhaps?

a weighted putty knife

say "ahhhhhh"

to be worn inside apnts to give the impression of an ever proud package

something used to complicate a simple task to the point of specialization

for making "tostones"

It's a practice paddle so you get better arm strength! The hollow tube can be filled for added wieght.

In the Great War, the Germans developed the stick grenade, where a wood handle screwed into an explosive head. To make shrapnel, a sleeve called a splittering could be put over the head.

I think the "paddle" was an antipersonnel mine. The casting resembles a splittering. The first crew would go along 50 yards in front of the trench using a pipe and hammer to make holes in the ground the right size for the paddle handles. They'd insert a handle and tamp earth around it.

The second crew would put grenade heads into the splitterings and stretch trip lines.

A moisterizer. Nail it to the wall, fill the cylinder with sauce, dip a brush in the sauce and apply thoroughly to the cooking meat.

I vote for Dan of the North, lol ;)

This appears to be an old ball and cup game that may have been made with old materials. The nail that is above the cup would have once held a ball on a string. The ball being slightly smaller than the cup. Children and adults would then try to slide the ball into the cup without touching the ball or the cup?

Candle holder.

Finger cutter torture device?

It's for collecting shit. First you hit the shit out of something, and then you put it in the container.

Maybe it's for catching or keeping leeches, or snails or something. You let it float with the container in the water. And pull it behind the boat if you go. Looks like there was a lid once.

Or you use it to pick fruits from bushes with thorns. You need one hand for picking, and with this tool you keep the thorns away and have a container to collect the fruit (or maybe insects or something you don't like near your body too much)

Put a weight in it and whatever you hit (dust out of a carpet, or meat or whatever) gets hit with more power because of the outward force.

I don't know, could also be used for spanking while shaking a cocktail at the same time. Those dominatrixes can be very efficient.

this could be a leather knife/sword holder for the belt

My last guess, honestly. Could it be a thing for collecting toll money for boats? They hang or throw it from a bridge on a rope, so someone on the boat can put money in it. Could have been a sign with the price under the nail.

it's a grenade swatter
