It's a rope maker. It twists the twine into rope.

sausage mill

Something gets gripped in the end that looks like Liverpool cathedral, and then rotates as the handle is turned. Is it a bottle opener?

New Years eve party favor.

Obviously, given the prize, it is a pig shaver. Simply place the pig firmly into the bladed cone, and twist! Voila! Produces 8 glorious strips of bacon at a time!

It's a rare automatic circumcision machine. Obviously, this machine was banned after the first use, when it was discovered that instead of performing a circumcision, it completely removed one's manhood.

That's definitely an instrument of torture.

This is a rare surving example of Fergusion's silent smell-a-larm. During the Blitz deaf Londoners were to be warned of impending attack by grinding an extremely pungent aroma.

However, the practice was discontinued when it was discovered that hight raids on London were actually being guided by the smell to their targets.

Fergusan was shot as a traitor to the crown, but in 1974 Parliment recinded the ruling and in a bizarre twist of English law, he was unexecuted and restored to life.

Its a McGonnagle ball Honer, model 1 (or 2) Subsequent models came in steam or electric power. They were used to sharpen the edges of golf ball dimples. This enables the ball to not only fly farther, but have more traction (or bite) when it hits the green. Unfortunately, if the ball has any backspin, that can actually reverse the ball's direction and cause it to retreat off the green. Honed balls were known to actually injure innocent bystanders. Such was the case at the XXI Haggis Open at the "Auld Course" in Bloodknock. A honed ball actually struck the Laird of McWillie. It took a team of surgeons several hours to remove the embedded ball from under his sporran. As a result, most golf courses have outlawed its use.

I know! I know! It is a pitching machine from the early 1900's!!! You see, the one side looks like a batter standing, and the other like the catcher! These people were geniuses back then! Awesome! Bring on the bacon!

Obviously, it's a cucumber sharpener.

For corn - for getting the dried kernels off of the cob.

This fine contraption is called the ultimate hair pulley Well little boys use to use it to pull little girls hair with, they never got in trouble because they were not actually touching the little girl, however it backfired when the little girl got ahold of it and tortured the little boy... She got away with only a warning... Couldn't prove anything.

Ok for realz... It's a braider.. Weaver... Thread spooler

By gosh, everyone has already posted my thoughts. QUESTION? How do I find the real answer once the contest is over. Neatorama please advise.

You stick the end of a spit in it and use it to turn meat over the fire.
