What Is It? Game 141

W00t! It's time for this week's collaboration with the always amazing What is it? Blog. Can you guess what this strange device above is used for?

Place your guess in the comment section. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many guesses as you'd like. Post no web links or URLs - doing so will invalidate your entry. You have until the answer is revealed on the What Is It? Blog tomorrow.

As usual, we have two prizes: the first correct guess and the funniest yet ultimately wrong guess will win a neat item from the NeatoShop. You can select from the Newly Listed category - anything $20 or under. IMPORTANT: Please write your prize selection alongside your guess, so visit the NeatoShop and take a look around, mmkay? If you don't write your prize selection, then you don't get the prize.

For more clues, check out the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update 6/4/10 - the answer is: whale oil lamp. Congratulations to Augie with the "Stanley Hookah Pipe." Delightfully wrong! (No one got it right)

It's a candle recycler! You put a wick in the tall tube and put the candle in the little cup, after several have burned out, the unused wax has formed around the wick and you use the spike on the left to unmold it!

And I want/need the gallbladder plush! I need a new one, I had mine removed :(

looks like a candle holder and possibly a candle maker? put hot wax in the thingy to the right then when it hardens pop it out and mount it on the spike to the left. maybe thats it. these things always look like torture devices though.

It's a winder of some kind. The part on the right of the photo is for controlling speed. The stub on the left is for holding a bobbin/thread spool. By changing the ratio on the right, you can control speed of winding. Based on size, I would guess for winding thread spools. There would be an arm that sits on top of the spool, and has a set of graduated shapes like the piece on the right. My guess is the feed belt is on the top, with winding spindle above the spool.

it's a water fountain. some kind of cork stops the water and you take it out to drink.

if i win can you just give me 20 dollars off the samurai umbrella? i've been dying to have one.

if not, medium occam's razor shirt

It is the Ronco "PILE DRIVER"(tm) home hemorrhoid treatment device. You lubed the small end with Popeil's "Butt-lube"(tm) and filled the large chamber with ice water. Then you sat on the small end and a small motor circulated soothing cold water through the machine. Also available: a "Clapper"(tm) compatible remote control.

It's a bunsen burner. The flame (left) has to be far enough away from the fuel canister (right) so it doesn't set it on fire.

I'd like the banana fruit jacket.

GasX for the 19th Century. Especially effective after grandma's bean casserole surprise.

with this pattent pending release valve, to help silently alleviate the "surprise" part of the casserole, suddenly grandma seems a lot nicer. And you aren't scared of left overs any more.

-Warning- Not recommended for church or church attire.

I'd like a Robot USB Hub!

p.s. I love Miss Cellania's standard response :-)

Ear wax remover. Warm water fills the tall cup. Patient places ear over small upward hole while warm water flows into the ear. Wax and water then falls, not over patient. Simples.

Manufactured by the same company that makes the Stanley Cup, this is the Stanley Hookah Pipe, awarded every year to the winner of the Beer Pong Tourney at Burning Man.

Cute but Psycho.

Can't believe no one got this. It's the Super version of the folding plastic drinking cup with the built in soft pretzel holder.

Venus De Milo night Light would bring back memories
of when I last saw her.
