What is It? game 208



It is once again time for our collaboration with the ever-amusing What Is It? Blog! Do you know what this object is? If not, can you fake it?

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?

Check out the What Is It? Blog for more clues, and more mystery items. Put your thinking cap on, and good luck!

Update: the very first answer was correct -it's a form for baking bread (or a "bread mold" which sounds like a fungus). Anker wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop for knowing that! The funniest answer came from The Professor, who said, "It’s a good old-fashioned can of whoop-ass!" he wins a t-shirt, too! See the answers to all the mystery items of the week at the What Is It? blog.

This is a cake form for making Norwegian almond cake. Often only one side is used to make a half cylindrical cake. Two joined together are used to make a form for nut bread.

Recently unearthed near the pyramids in Egypt, this metal casing houses the first slinky ever made, still perfectly intact despite its ancient age. The amazing thing is that it actually walks UP the side of pyramids!

DON'T OPEN IT! It is actually a medieval fruitcake container, probably still containing fruitcake from the 14th century.... it probably should be registered as a biological weapon with The Hague!

How neat! A toy dry cask storage container for nuclear waste! So adorable! It would be even nicer if provided with the original tin railroad car and tin railroad tracks..

1800's Geocache Container. Because they didn't have GPS units to find the container, pioneer settlers followed coordinates marked on trees or large rocks and a good old fashioned compass.

Prior to the invention of cardboard, everything was made of metal. This is a cracker tin, it weighed six pounds. In those days grocery carts had heavy duty shocks and women shoppers had biceps like cataloups. So we men invented cardboard to keep the woman in her place.

It’s a clay-pigeon box. It will hold and protect one round of skeet worth of clay pigeons.

It's a loaf tin for making a milk loaf, commonly known as a "lodger's loaf". I was told that it was ridged so that the landlady couldfollow the ridges to slice it into thin but equal slices of bread for her poor houseguests or "lodgers" therefore getting the most out of her baking and rent paid.
I'll have this http://www.neatoshop.com/product/Im-Giving-Her-All-Shes-Got in XL please if I win xxx

I absolutley know what this is because I have used one. It is a form for baking cinamonn bread. My father owned a bakery and he had a few dozen of these--which were still in use in the 70s.

Where's my shirt?

I know what it is- it is a baking form for brown bread- a kind of New England bread that for people who didn't have $$ in the older days and even now- made it in the baked bean tin that they poured the beans out of. You can buy it now in the same kind of tin here in New England- people either love it or hate it. I HATE it!

It's a bread tin used to make what we call in Wales, 'a milk loaf'. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sliced thick and toasted, they make THE BEST toast on the planet and an excellent carrier for the conveyance of butter and jam.

It's a mold for a loaf of Vienna bread. The wire bails were to keep the mold together when it rose during baking. A similar mold was also used to make "boardinghouse bread" or "lodgers bread." The idea was that the bread could be sliced very thinly (therefore the loaf lasted longer) by cutting along the ridges.

It's also the Iron Man's pencil box.

"It’s a bread tin used to make what we call in Wales, ‘a milk loaf’."

Yes my now closed local bakery used to sell bread made in these molds and it was called at least by my father milk bread.

You can still buy them
