So WTF is this then?

looks like a caisson for a tunnel under the waterway.

Good work Boris.

Well that was one of the internet’s shorter Mystery Object threads then.

Feel free to post a more mysterious object if you’ve got one :)

How does one put pictures up?

like that.

Make sure it’s a site that allows hot-linking (or upload it to your Photobucket album) then just type an exclamation mark, insert the url (ending in .jpg or other type of image file), then type another !

That’s certainly a mysterious mystery object, poikilotherm.

It’s an automatic pig’s trotter.

lol, yea, it ‘loosens high heel shoes’…

so an expanding shoe tree.

the roll is now buttered.

just waiting for a chance to add the filling.

a penis sharpener?

are they electrical wires coming out to the right hand end?

No and no.

Who needs a sharp penis?

maybe a diaphragm on the right with either air tube or wires coming out.

hmmmmmm

Well, I knew the shoe stretcher….I’ve used one. My Mum has had one for forever.

Don’t know the latest thing though.

Electric tin opener?

There is a ‘wire’ that goes in and out…it’s used on the body, but, not the penis as mentioned by Boris.

a mechanical cupping device….

Looks like you screw it to a bench…..but what you do after that?!

an early root canal driller.

Flossing device.

Getting closer (as in region on the body it’s used).

Looks like you screw it to a bench…..

the screw thing should have a little plate on the end to stop it digging into the underside of the table top. looks more like something goes into the cup shaped bit and the screw thing holds it in place.

a nasal cautiser?(sp)

Hair perming thingy – it reminds me of something my aunt had in her hairdresser’s tool bag.

Somewhere…in my archived photos…I have a heap of photos I took at the local farm and ranch museum. items that had not been named and they wanted peoples’ help in figuring stuff out.

I might look for them one day.

Destroyed that roll, hey boris…

Nose washer?

Yes.

Called an Earoscope, some sort of quack device from 1911.

I interpreted that as SIF was a strong indicator of CAD risk, not Diabetes I.

Have I misunderstood?

Whoopee.. I got one . :)

but then, I have had the suction job done though the machine used on me wasn’t hand cranked.

Wig wham for a goose’s bridle?
