Gizmo quiz

[Lilliabeth]

What is this [community.webshots.com]?

[Lilliabeth]

2 minute warning.

I'm going to stop the quiz in two minutes if no one posts.

[dmorison]

Immediately thought of "Catapult" on seeing the pic. Are we looking at some kind of device for launching a projectile?

[Lilliabeth]

Not for launching.

[Lilliabeth]

Here is another picture [community.webshots.com] of it

[Lilliabeth]

Are you still there?

[Lilliabeth]

This week's quiz is hereby called off.

[grandpa]

Bummer, I guess I should have stopped working earlier, and on my day off too. I was going to suggest something antique (doh) and possibly used to re-load shells.

[larryhatch]

Looks antique, yes.

How about an antique sponge squeezer,
to wring out sponges so they don't drip all over the window sill? -Larry

[henry0]

I know what to do next!
Create a search engines that only accepts img
that should save disk space and time since
a picture worth...
You know the rest of the story :)

[grandpa]

Do your sponges drip all over the window sill?

[MetalType]

Is it agricultural?

[Lilliabeth]

Hi!

No shells.
No sponges.
Not agricultural.

[MetalType]

Is it American?

[Lilliabeth]

Hmmm, it was manufactured in USA.

A variation (much different) is used everywhere today.

[Lilliabeth]

Grandpa, you should know this!~

[Woz]

I am guessing it is used to TAG something, perhaps small animals or pets?

Grandpa: My sponge drips on the window sill if I don't wring it out first.
A hand held wringer might stop dripping on my sleeves, but it looks like I was on the wrong track. -LH

[Lilliabeth]

Not used to tag anything. No pets.

[Lilliabeth]

I guess Jesus would have liked to have one of these. Would have been handy.

[Key_Master]

A sprayer of some sort?

[Lilliabeth]

No, it is not a sprayer.

[Key_Master]

Noise maker, possibly an instrument?

[inbound]

A carpentry tool?

[Lilliabeth]

Yes - carpentry tool. More specific, please

[inbound]

Possibly a plane?

[Lilliabeth]

Notice the hopper and the slots.

[MetalType]

Collecting box?

Sorry, bit of a time-lag!

Not a plane or collecting box.
