What Is It? Game 109

Alex

Oops - I almost forgot! Today is the we all get to play the guessing game, courtesy of the always awesome What is it? Blog. Can you guess what this strange (and dangerous!) looking tool is for?

And today being the first game of the month, let's have a prize. The first person who guessed right will win a Cool Jazz Ice Tray and Stirrers from the Neatorama Shop. If nobody got it right, then the funniest guess will win instead. Please post no links or URLs - let others play.

For more clues, check out the What is it? Blog. Click for more Cool and Unusual Ice Trays. Good luck!

Update 9/5/09 - the answer is: A sugar devil or fruit auger, used at the general store to loosen compacted sugar or dried fruit from a barrel.

Congratulations to avalchfan who got it right!

This is without doubt Thor's fisching hammer, "Troutnir" ... a very light version for nordic god trout fisching...

It throws like a hammer, hits like a harpoon and returns like a boomerang...

slightly less romantic than trout fisching in "A river runs through it" but way more effective..

Thor also has a "sharknir", a "tunir" and a "merlinir" for offshore-fisching...

The only reason it only has a limited success at market resides in that you have to be a nordic god to be able to properly operate this supreme fisching gear...

It's a manually operated second hand! These were commonplace before advances in spring technology drove hundreds of second-hand men out of business. It would be years before the minutemen and their hourly brethren would feel the sting ...

This is my daddy's good old direction finder. He never read a map in his life and whenever he got lost he'd whip this trusty old direction finder out and stick it out the car door window and follow the direction the arrow pointed. Did it work? Well... let's just say that one time I was 3 months late starting school...

Instead of a bottle, carpenters use this when playing spin the bottle. After kissing the person the arrow points to, they pound the ground with the opposite end and yell "Nailed it!".

A predecessor (ancient Scottish origin) to the modern GPS positioning and direction system. It was limited to locating only one place at a time.

It looks like a panelbeater's tool for reshaping crumpled car body-panel corners from the inside.
It has a flat pein on the other side for flattening any ridges or bumps caused in the reshaping operation.
