Welcome to "Let's Guess What This Is"? In this group a member already knows what an object is.  Members try to see if others in the group will be able to figure out what their unique or unusual object is. This is a fun group so jump in and  "Let's Guess What This Is".

 

FYI

We also have another group called "Whadja Find".   If you need help with the  identification  and evaluation of an object, visit Whadja Find for help. In that group over 1000 members who belong to that group can help you evaluate and discuss the market value of your antiques, collectibles and fine art.

I'm with AntoinettesWhims on this.
" the  "Whadja Find" group was for those things you want help with."

This is for stuff you know what it is and just funnin' with folk to see if they know it.

My understanding was this is just a fun game to stump others with something you know about and the  "Whadja Find" group was for those things you want help with.

ATTN GROUP Moderator/or everyone: Can we put both items we know and those we don't here or not?

I've seen both done in this group and I am as confused as Lillian is!  I thought it was ok, as long as we said up front we didn't know what it was, because we have a lot of experienced eyes here( See Toni - knew what Lillian's item was right away) Someone please clarify for us. Thank you.

Rob, vicki advised me to post it here after I posted it in the Whadja Find section. I told her I thought this forum was for items the asker already knew the purpose and just wanted people to guess. But she indicated that unknown objects could be posted here if that is mentioned in the post. If you have a question about this forum, I suggest you contact her.

Lillian- I believe your supposed to already know what your item is on this forum. You had it posted correctly on the other board "whadja find?".

Comment by AntoinettesWhims on Monday

I'm too late for the last one, but my guess would have been a cracker pricker.  So your crackers would bake flat instead of looking like pillows.

Lillian, that looks a lot like the drip pan from a barrel smoker

I have no idea what this is, but vicki suggested I post it here.  Not an antique, but I am curious about it. I found it in the cellar. The round part is 15" in diameter and the legs are 14" tall and it all metallic. Someone suggested an animal feeder, but why would an animal feeder need legs? It was in with my dad's automotive stuff, but may just have been put there with no relation to automotive.

Good to see this group back in the saddle. Who will take the lead next?

We have a correct guess Sherry Miller  this is a chip chop. you put the ice cube in your glass put the spikes against the cube and take your hand and tap on the wooden handle and it breaks up the cube we tried it in a glass and worked just fine.  and it has drink recipes on the handle so you can cheat and make drinks.

hmmm looks old, painted wood handle and aluminum? Is it's purpose now obsolete?

It looks very much like the old flower frogs, was it used for gardening or farming purpose?
