This week's collaboration with What Is It? Blog brings us this strange object - can you guess what it is?
Place your guess in the comment - no prize this week, you're playing for bragging rights and fun. For more clues, check out What Is It? Blog. Have fun!
Update 2/1/08 - It's either a sponge's diver spear (which is cool) or a weed puller (which is more mundane). Congratulations to Bill #21 who got it right. Funniest but wrong guess by Jason Phelan #15 "It's a rectal annoyer.", though I also like Chauss513's "tool for separating truth from fiction" and Tinito Winner's "Neanderthal tuning fork."
This looks like a teletype tuning fork. I have been restoring old teletypes for quite a while but I dont have one of these.
