Previously, in ID This No. 139...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, it was in fact a stud fastener/remover for football or rugby boots. Easy!

Honorable mentions...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lee Gordon - Looks like a radiator key Net says:-->> OK, a second chance on this one.... read on... LOL.

Brad Johnson - I've got this...very similar to "brass knuckles", this is an "iron finger", and causes sharp pain when someone wearing it thumps you on the noggin. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Kathy A - stud remover for getting studs out of football boots. Net says:-->> Correctomundo! Yeeeehaaa!

Lee Gordon - actually looking at it I think Kathy is right, tut.. radiator key... what a numpty :D Net says:-->> See, told you it was worth a second go... LOL. Nice one.

Shirley Chetwynd - stob remover from footy boots. Net says:-->> Stunned here! Never heard them called 'stobs' before. Do horses get put out to 'stob' as well? Plausible. LOL. Nice one.

Rick Schies - It is an adaptor wrench for a valve Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Paula Brumbe -
It is an attachment that goes onto a piece of metal (bolt, screw, fastener) that then gives you a handle for turning leverage. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Sue Wilde - It's a thingey for giving you some leverage for when you're twisting those other thingeys out so that you can change them. Net says:-->> Er... yes! As precise as we are going to get if we are totally unclear! LOL a nice description...

bkb in the city - looks like an attachment to a vacuum. cleaner Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Rob - I agree with the others, it's used to remove football boot studs. Radiator keys are hexagonal (I think). Net says:-->> Correct. But radiator keys come in all sorts of shapes. So not an impossible consideration.

Alison Bailey - It's one of those things where someone says "It's a ....... " and you think "Of course it is, why didn't I think of that?" Net says:-->> Actually I have several of those.... LOL>

Jane - Scratches head... Mmmmmmm... scratches head a bit more... mmmmmm and have to agree with the others... its used on football boots to remove studs..... Net says:-->> Let me check I have this right. Its an "mmmmmmm" to put scratches onto the studs in footballers heads. LOL. Nice one.

june milner - If this is about male-ness , it implirs there is a female-ness equivalent .How about a cover for a hosepipe connector to stop freezing in winter. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy! Its about maleness because most games that requires studs are rather macho.

mag - I think football stud removers have an additional part which you insert and that part is square...this is a 3 edged tab.....ok...you got me..?? Actually it is a stud fitter/remover. However, it is one of at least three different types that I know of. My sons rugby coach keeps three different ones in his bag to help out the boys. There are other types too. So it is all a bit technical. LOL. Life is never simple.

Alta D© - Hmm, male-ness? For me a "screwer" is synonymous to male-ness. ha! =) Net says:-->> OK that is just plain naughty. But fun. Joke of the day to you! Nice one.

Thanks for popping by. Interesting one today. Hope to see ya soon!

[Vicki Kell]

plumb line

[Glendq]

never heard of that before.
always lots to learn

[Kathy A]

A ring sizing thing.

[judith deacon]

? spindle from a spinning wheel?

[Beth]

Pill crusher?

[Debbie Orlando]

Bobbin

[Alta D©]

something which holds yarns or threads for weaving?

[Marilyn Wigen]

Bobbin for sure...

[Howard N]

It is no doubt an old thing made of wood with some metal at the end that has a bit of rust on it. Depending on the length of the gizmo I would say it is a measuring device used to determine how much wine/spirit is left in the bottle. A dip stick of sorts used by the visually impaired primarily, and a collectors item for sure.

[Mike Warren]

A wooden antenna for picking up signal in the 1830's? Actually I think Marilyn had a good guess.

[Diana Horn]

Something to hold a large spool of thread. Somehow I know I have seen one of these before. You always get me thinking-love that.

[Miley]

It's a wooden thing with a metal bit on the end... derrrr...

[Doug O.]

Antique thread bobbin.

[Jane]

Okay... going to make a right idot of myself now... but just wondered if it could be something to do with holding a scroll.... thingy wotsit.... okay walks off very quickly feeling very embarassed... lol!!

[june milner]

Is it the spindle that holds the string to start and old fashioned toy.. a spinning top.

[Diane]

A spindle from a textile factory?

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

It's obviously a whack a mole stick!

[Amanda F.]

Stumped, as usual.....

[Sue Wilde]

Not a spindle and not a bobbin, but maybe a smasher thing.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Darn!! Or should I say "weave"? ;-) One I really knew the answer to and I'm too late to show off my knowledge.
I've never seen them converted to spoons though; it's usually biros or skipping ropes.
