What Is It? game 173

It is once again time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog. Do you know what this object is? Can you make a wild guess?

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Post no URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will each win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

Be sure to check out the What Is It? Blog. Let your imagination run wild, and good luck!

Update: It took over 50 guesses for someone to come up with the correct answer! Berhard finally said this object is a corn dryer. You stuck it into ears of corn to hang and dry them so you could use the kernels for seed corn. trishlovesdolphins gave us the funniest answer: it's the air freshener from Mad Max's car! Both win t-shirts from the NeatoShop.
