Previously, in ID This No. 113...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I got you all on this one. Howard N got nearest to the truth. It is in fact the plast drain strainer for outside rain drains. It prevents leaves and rats and dead birds from getting down your drain pipes from your gutters. A mundane and obscure item which makes our lives easier.

So no winners today. But some wonderfully inventive ideas on what it was... read on.

Honorable mentions...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mag - It's some kind of container which holds a ping pong type float ball. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Nancy Holte - I'm pretty sure it's the thing you put your baseball cap on to stick it in the dishwasher. In other words, I don't have a clue. Net says:-->> No, cool idea but not the right idea. LOL... but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Rick Schies - That's the metal hat they put on your head just before they throw the switch :( Net says:-->> Eeek! Not my head Rick. I am a good boy! LOL> Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Brian Buccigrossi - Light bulb protector. Net says:-->> A bit small for that Brian - it measures just over 1.5inches. But plausible so A Doohicky Award! Yaaaahhhhoooo! Nice one.

scooter - Wow, another prop from a horror film...thinking from the "Saw" series....can you tell I like horror films!!! LOL Net says:-->> Wow... you really do have a twisted perception of the universe (LOL) - we need to watch out for you! A Doohicky award! Yyyyyyaaaaahhhhheeee!

Breanna Gard-Rodriguez - Whatever it is it's pretty cool. Net says:-->> Thanks. LOL. Can drain parts be cool? Tee hee.

Paula Cook-Farkas - Dog muzzle. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Net says:-->> For the smallest dog in the world LOL, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Shirley Chetwynd - It's a helmet that the Romans used to wear when they went to do battle and one size fits all .....DUH...i give up. Net says:-->> Good effort. Perhaps a long lie down would help. LOL. Nice idea. A doohicky award! Yeehaaw!

Kathy A - Some sort of protective hat for someone with a small head. Net says:-->> Or perhaps for one of those poor people who had thier head shrunk by some bizarre shaman or witch! LOL. Nice idea. A black magic Award! EEEEEEEaaaaaah!

Howard N - This gizmo either keeps things from going down or keeps things from coming up when inserted into where it goes properly. I think it prevents things from going in because of the little tabs, which keep whatever it is from doing the same. Net says:-->> Well done Howard you got the closest. Nice one. Congratulations.

Doug O. - Light bulb protective cage. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Jennifer C - a viking helmet. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy! Could be, if it was less open. LOL.

Paula Brumbe - metal cage for the Smurf Metal Cage Fights that are happening this weekend in a forest near you. Net says:-->> Excellent. Another one that created paroxisms of side spliting vibratory shockwaves. A Doohicky Wobble! Yaaaaheee!

Tashy - medieval torture equipment? Net says:-->> Could be where you put it on the victims tummy with a rat in it and then heat it up so the rat eats into... well you get the idea. A totally sadistic genious award! Yeehaw!

IlseAl - It's the protective helmet of Antony Hopkins @ Silence of the lambs. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Mattia G. part of a vacuum cleaner? Net says:-->> Wow! Thats one I didn't see coming. Nice idea. I cant think which part, but its possible. Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

emily tull - i have no idea but it looks medieval Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

DavidCHR - Electric chair head fashion. Net says:-->> Not this time, but I laughed a lot. So, a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Alta D© - a fancy head gear, one that would make Lady Gaga look more alien-ish! =) Net says:-->> Could she look more alienish? LOL. A celebrity Doohicky award for you! LOL... Yeeehaaa!

Alison Bailey - It's part of a paint whisk attachment for an electric drill. It froths the paint so's you can have a bubbly paint texture. Very popular during the home improvement phase in the '90s. 0:-) Net says:-->> Far too long ago - practically historical - for me to remember! But plausible. A Doohicky Award! YYYYeeeeAAAAhhh!

Some huge laughs and great fun tonight. Thanks for your brilliant ideas everyone. Take care.

[Howard N]

When the things come down the drain pipe and dry out you have many options to remove them... maybe a rake, a shovel or the item pictured, which would probably clean up the yuk the best... a long handle, natural bristle push broom, is my guess.. And, it looks like they come in matched pairs (like dueling pistols), or maybe it's that one is left-handed, the other, right!

[Laurie Higgins]

Two push brooms!

Looks like two brooms to me.
