OK, a slight head start. First picture of this old timey gizmo. A little higher tech than the Ring Thing Bottle Opener:

Whatizit [images39.fotki.com]?

I know you don't have one of these lying around the house. How'd you get it?

i like tools.
it's easy for me to imagine how something could be used.

Good find, phranque! Nice gizmo too.

Grumbling, haven't finished my coffee. LOL.

Oh no, wait a minute, I might have declared a winner too soon. Looks like jesac knew it was a cork sizer and even provided specific pix.

Actually no. I found the pictures but I don't have a single clue yet what this things do to the cork. So phranque deserves this win.

i'll be happy to share the win on my first gq if you'll run the next gizquiz, jecasc.

Haha. Nice try. But I have to pass. ;)

I hate to give jecasc even a smidgen of a win, seeing as how he thinks he's my equal in the GQ. ;)

However, since I totally screwed it up by declaring a winner too quickly, we have co-winners and each will receive credit for a win. Which wants to host next week?

Hey I don't need alms yet. We still have a year until I can be declared the winner of the "Gizmo Geek of the Year" award. ;)

I'd say phranque wins this one and hosts the next quiz and I'll win next week and host in a fortnight.

That was too fast, my son was watching and learning my methods for searching... Nice teachable moment.

My final decision is final :)
