Once again, it's time for our collaboration with the always fascinating What Is It? Blog. Do you know what the pictured item is? Or can you make an amusing wild guess?
Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Post no URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will win T-shirt from the NeatoShop.
Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

Update: the mystery object is an inkwell. Congratulations to Anker, who had the correct answer right off. The funny answer award goes to Straight_Flush, who declared this to be a small hadron collider! Both win t-shirts from the NeatoShop. We had a lot of imaginative answers this week, some x-rated, so you should go read them all!

It's a Persistence of Memory Baby Carriage for an unfinished istallation by Salvador Dali. Melting baby carriages with square wheels as a symbol of decline and death was too weird, even for him, so he whipped out a painting of melting clocks instead.

This problem was solved in the 1377 tournament season by a French nobleman, Guy DePissoir. He invented what was commonly known as the "friend of the kinght" or "Le ami de cavalier." The top bracket clipped onto the bottom of the Fauld (the plates covering the groin at the bottom of the Cuirasse or breastplate).
Notice the four settings: this made the device adjustable so it fit everyone from little "Prince John" all the way up to Henry size VIII. For ease of use the glass container, or monkey, swiveled in the frame allowing the squire to assist his knight in "Draining ye Monkye."

"Verily when thou shalt assemble on the fortnight, thou shalt collectest the menfolk and thy fairer womenfolk, seperating them thus to the left and to the right, and upon the table nearest thy altar unto the Lord, thou shalt place the receptacle. And thou shalt betwirl it thusly about and about until its contents being so thoroughly mixed that thy canst be considered to cheat or thwart that of gracious and noble performance. And thou shalt reacheth within thy receptacle and withdraw from within one of several numbered and lettered orbs, and thus shall you calleth the number and letter upon the orb that thy flock mayest marketh it upon their cartes in hopes to assemble thereof a line thus vertical or thus horizontal or thus upon the saltire.
When thou hast achieved a line of five, notwithstanding the section thou mayest mark at no tariff in the center, thou shalt call out the word 'Bingo!' and find thyself verily in winnance of the prize for the evening, be it a new broom of wicker or a gear upon which you may place your whetstone."

Before the question "Something for the weekend, Sir?", when a prophylactic was something to be only dreamed of, these devices were used to "drain the gentleman of his desires".
Its use was quite simple, as explained in the following extract from the instructions.
"Taking a lighted taper of sufficient length for the gentleman, drop same within the glass catcher while well aflame. Immediately, with all haste, the gentleman's member should be placed wholly within the entrance, sufficient to exclude the passage of air to within."
"As the flame reduces the air within, so a massive suction doth occur, pleasuring the gentleman in an instant, reducing his immediate defires, soon dousing the flame and with the additional promise of the extension of both length and girth of the gentleman's equipment."
