Can you tell me what this [bunlimited.com] is? It'd be nice if you also describe it's function...

Have fun!

[bunltd]

nope, not for pots.

Sex toy? I should hope not, ouch.

not for sewing.

SlowMove, at the time these were in use, probably.

[Serio]

Is it used for drying something?

[smokin]

what size is it..dimensions..etc?

[PatrickDeese]

something to do with lighting the fire in the fireplace, or something to do with wicks or lighting lamps?

[bunltd]

Not for drying.

around 18"x7"

[tax1dr1ver]

You said every house probably had one back when it was in use. Is the need for this item gone too? Or has it been replaced with newer versions for doing the same task?

[lorax]

Was it an early chimney brush - the arms holding something to scrape the soot?

[Serio]

Is it for hanging hot things on?

[bunltd]

PatrickDeese, I got in trouble for telling werty this, but, uhm, you're getting hot...

tax1dr1ver: replaced with newer versions for the same task.

not a chimney brush.

[Lilliabeth]

You're welcome, Serio.

[Serio]

<Confession> I've never read the rules </confession>

What happens now?

[tax1dr1ver]

I think you guys misread bun like i did.. he was saying yes that it holds something hot. not that you won. I could be wrong, but i think thats why he didn't say you were the winner.

[bunltd]

Not a wick maker.

It holds something hot, but what is it, looking for the name of the item...

LisaB

[SlowMove]

Oh yeah. I was confused and heading for the coffee pot.

[Serio]

Oh f*ck - err...

[tax1dr1ver]

I should have waited and everyone would have left HAHA

[tax1dr1ver]

Damper Hook

[SlowMove]

Does it hold something that stays hot or cools down?

[bunltd]

Well, what do you want me to do? ;)

Not a damper hook.

SlowMove, did you get your coffee? Yes it holds something hot that eventually cools, but the cooling isn't it's function.

[Sinner_G]

Is it a kettle holder?

[DaveN]

is it for holding something close to the fire while cooking

[bunltd]

not for holding kettles.

not for cooking or holding things to the fire.

[tax1dr1ver]

I'm stumped :(
