What Is It? game 206 - Neatorama

Once again, it's time for our collaboration with the always amusing What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the object in this picture is?

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 each win a 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?

Check out the What Is It? Blog for an additional picture. Good luck!

Update: the mystery object is a A Yankee Cork Press, for compressing corks to the proper size to fit into a bottle. Just a Guess? had the right answer before anyone else, and so wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! Kevin George had the funniest answer: "That's the famous scuplture "Desert Cowskull" by the steampunk impressionist Nemo Remington." That deserves a t-shirt, too! You can see the answers to all this week's mystery items at the What Is It? blog.

It's part of an Olde Tyme Christmas Cracker Press from Britain.

Back before the invention of paper, Christmas Crackers (or Poppers) were made from cast iron. The large cavity of this tool formed the cast iron case around the festive treats.

The smaller cavities formed the Olde Tyme Semtex Plastyc Explosyve into the shape charges necessary to open case.
