A friends wife purchased this for whatever reason at a garage sale and is now trying to figure out what it is.



Any help appreciated!

I believe that is a face ripper off'er - I beleive that they are used by the commer slasher / serial murderer!

LOL

couoldn't resist, but I don't know. Keep us posted.

-Alton

That is a handle with spikes on the bottom and a fork in the front that was made in Japan.

I agree..

HAHAHA
Alton you are one funny man!
good stuff to start the week off with!

Looks like it might be an old leather hole punch. Just guessing
Are the spikes hollow?

Maybe and old Plane handle?

Anti Snoring Thermometer ( Rectal )

Nut

A hair brush for masochists?

It appears Clingon.

I think it's part of a Ferrier's arsenal.
I.E: horse-shoing tool
old nail-puller in front, hoof cleaner/hole starter on the bottom

LOL!

Meat tenderizer with fork.

I agree with lite liner

I agree with lite liner

whoops check out these moves will you!!!sorry guys

it's something she can put in her next garage sale.

I would be VERY SCARED if my wife bought that...

I'm not sure, but I think I saw something like that used in an Alfred Hitchcock movie once!

What is that on the base of the handle? Looks like LEFAX? Maybe that will give us a clue.

I think it says JAPAN.

It's an attitude adjuster!

It says Japan and the spikes are solid.

circumcizer?

I agree, Klingon fish cleaner.

You can look it up on the Klingon Google page:
http://www.google.com/intl/xx-klingon/

"Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam"
"Today is a good day for fish to die" (in my skillet)

Lawn aerator?

Back scratcher?

Ninja self-defense hand tool?

Fish scaler?

Handle off a Popeil Pocket Fisherman?

It's an old carpet strecher, the fork is used to tuck the carpet around the tack strip. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Whatever it is, it looks like it might hurt.

It's a red ruler!

Sheetrock hanger with built in nail puller? Or the horse thing.

It sort of looks like something you'd use for climbing an icy cliff (such as a frozen waterfall)or a snow covered mountain, but I would think it would have a better grip for the handle.

Upholstery tool would be my guess.. but carpet tool sounds good too!

Maybe the people she bought it from knows.

Ok folks, the 1st one who can correctly identify this has their choice of 1 free Spinny Bait from: http://WWW.SOBLURES.COM.

PM me or post here with proof and I'll send your prize!

I know! I know! It's a Japanese body shaper manufactured in late 1945. It was first designed in Hiroshima and used exclusively there and on the far outskirts of Nagasaki a few days later. It's designer is unknown and is believed to be the only one left in existance. You can go ahead and ship my lure...

Bzzzzzz....next!

IT IS A - Japanese Style Garden Tool - USED TO PULL WEEDS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO POST A PICTURE, BUT THERE IS A NEWER VERSION ON EBAY RIGHT NOW UNDER " Weed Puller - Japanese Style Garden Tool "

Nice try.

It is an old medical instrument.....(time to get another doctor)

It's a wigwam for a gooses bridle!

you've got to be kidding

I give up! what is it?

Biker Booger picker? LOL

It is a sex toy. I have not seen once since Village 3-1/2, in Okinawa.

P.S. When it was all over, I need a LOT of bandaids.

Surely you all know this....you hold and suspend a deceased chicken or small turkey for plucking and further preparation prior to cookin'................Could probably use it to do the same thing to gar.

i have no idea what that is

Hook remover. Used for removing hooks from the face. I joke, I joke.

at first i thought horse shoe tool

but it is too curved for that, so i choose a real person shoe tool

for old shoes of course

Its a tool used in a meat house or slaughter house.

that was used to stretch carpetan clean boots nasty ol buffalo,drum,carp an a door stop hell take your pick

I am anxious for the prizes to be distributed.

LMAO

It looks like part of a meat carving set. The spikes under the handle holds the meat or roast, and the fork is used for serving.
BG

a meat tenderizer

Clearly the Night Slasher's backup weapon from the Stallone movie "Cobra". I win

BG is correct. It is for carving a roast. Although, I do believe you actually use the fork for more than just serving. You stab it with the fork, the spikes keep it from moving while the fork supports the weight for rotating/moving.
