What Am I Used for?

[Temmu]

stumped.  sorry.  not even an amusing guess.

[GR@PH;<'S]

R-C,
I think we need another hint or evan another picture of it say a side view.

GR@PH;<'S   :Hammys pint:

[R-C]

ok I actually managed to find another good angle of it

[Shax]

A water sprinkler?
A salad spinner?

[R-C]

well I guess I will give it to you for water sprinkler but it is actually made to screw onto the top of one of the large soda bottles so that you can use any plastic bottle as a watering device.

so your turn next

Yes, R-C, that's what I meant. I was just abbreviating my answer... :cheers:

Here's one that might look familiar (but it's not for the same purpose!)

It is a Victorian/Edwardian period mouth gag, used for used for opening the mouth, depressing the tongue and maintaining the airway in surgical operations. The spiral groove was used for introducing anaesthetics, etc.

ETR...how on earth did you pick that!?! I expected this one to go for eons!

Your turn...I'm going off to sulk for a while... :blink:

[Eric the Red]

I was in the Science Museum in Kensington a couple of weeks ago and I saw one similar to the picture above which piqued my curiousity.

So, moving on, what is this used for ....

[Niecarrah]

A Boot Scraper?

[R-C]

a step up?

[Eric the Red]

a step up?

Give that punter a coconut! A heavy brass folding step for fitting to the transom to make it easier to climb out of the dinghy, fitted to the transom, mast or for interior use. A stainless steel spring holds the step in the closed or open position.

[R-C]

wow that one was a wild guess!

this is the next item up for what am I used for?

[GR@PH;<'S]

R-C,
Is it a handle for plastic carrier bags to stop them digging in to your fingers.

[R-C]
