Identify This No. 134

What is this odd object?

More about "Identify This"... http://365project.org/netkonnexion/number03/2011-05-11

Previously, in ID This No. 132...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Its a wok spoon. Used to turn the stir fry in a wok. The outside edge fits into the side of the wok and so nothing slides out of the spoon. Only one person got it right. Well done Judith Deacon!!!
BTW the respect thing in the clue was all about Japanese honour culture.

Honorable mentions...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kathy A - A weirdly shaped spoon or a baby shovel perhaps. Net says:-->> Wow! I had no idea that anyone had designed a shovel for shoveling babies. Specialist or what? LOL A doohicky award for that one! LOL.

Camille Bisson - for tea bags? Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Mike Warren - A coal shovel for Richy Rich Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

june milner - A silver dust pan. They used to have special brushes to sweep crumbs off the tables into little dustpans, and this is one. Net says:-->> Nice try. But unfortunately not... A doohicky award though... very plausible. LOL. Yeeeeha!

Doug O. - Kitty litter scooper upper. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Howard N - This is a dust pan of an aristocrat. Used in the homes of the nobility and elite, where their dust and crumbs are worthy of no less than sterling. Net says:-->> LOL. Nice try, but actually this is pretty poor stainless steel.

photoite - this is easy i saw these on the discovery channel - back in the day of King Aurther and the round table - these were used to flatten the knights tongues. Net says:-->> LOL. Great idea. Nice one. Made me really laugh. A Doohicky award for sure! Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah!

judith deacon - Don't know what it's proper name is but I think its the implement you use when stir frying in a wok. Net says:-->> Hoooooraaay! Correct! Its a wok spoon!

Howard N - I change my mind. You can only find this item in the very finest of tack shops. We don't see them often in New England as this is not "horse country." The item pictured is a barn shovel for thoroughbred race horses. Net says:-->> Wow. Earlier on someone was saying about shovelling babies. You mean someone invented a shovel for horses? Incredible. The chap that shovels them must be pretty big! LOL. A Doohicky award.

eva - I think it is a little salt shovel. Net says:-->> Cool idea. But no, a wok spoon. A Doohicky award for you! Yeeeehaaaa!.

mag - hamburger flipper... Net says:-->> Possibly, possibly... er. No. A wok spoon! LOL.A Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Sue Roth - a silver flour scooper. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Alta D© - Since the clue said "respect is the key issue" I would say this is the Honorable Mr. Shiny Shovel,Sir? =). Huge LOL. Nice one. No, but a Doohicky award. I really laughed at this one. Yeehhhaaaa!

Vicki K - a smacking device!! Net says:-->> er... I hadn't thought of that! But if you have a minute perhaps you would like to pop round and demonstrate! LOL. Nice one. A Doohicky award!


Thanks for this eveyone. I laughed a lot at these.
Hope to see ya soon!

[Howard N]

This is exactly what it appears to be... a utensil that has a wooden handle and an ivory tip. Obviously , without a plug and cord we can say it is not a small appliance, but rather a manual thingy. The lack of bristles, rules out it being a brush. But it could be wax, or maybe not, and for what reason? I do not know. We don't have them here, and all references to them were destroyed during the war.

[Carole Imes]

A knife sharpener?

[Rick Schies]

Could be the handle to a paint brush, or a tooth pic for a very large set of teeth :)

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

judging by the grooves down its length I would say a sharpening steel

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

an eye poking stick.

[Doug O.]

Knife sharpener

[Mike Warren]

I'll go with the knife sharpener folks.

['Saint' kk4go]

I'll go w/Mike and Lee.

[Nadine]

I also think it's a sharpening steel.

[Howard N]

I change my mind, it is a steel... I, I, I didn't have my glasses on, the monitor was fuzzy, the phone rang, and the fire in the kitchen distracted me... it's a steel, maybe.

[Dione Giorgio]

Nice shot and composition.

[Lesley Barber]

A soldering iron...

[Kathy A]

A leather punch.

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

It's Minerva McGonagle's wand!!! Doesn't she need that to teach?

[Sue Wilde]

Steel, probably bone handled and dating from the first half of last century. Very likely part of a carving set which also had a carving fork and knife.

[Alta D©]

I have no idea, so i'll just copy someone else's answer. Let's see... Oh Paula! you always have the brightest idea! =)
