My guesses run out after drawer pull and bow-tie for an electronic penguin.

zippyt · 09-07-2007, 01:32 AM

nope

wolf · 09-07-2007, 01:34 AM

See, I knew that. But I always liked Liar's Club.

zippyt · 09-07-2007, 01:37 AM

nope its not one of them eather

DucksNuts · 09-07-2007, 04:06 AM

a butt plug?

xoxoxoBruce · 09-07-2007, 04:11 AM

Fishing weight?

glatt · 09-07-2007, 08:01 AM

I'm guessing is has something to do with boats and lines. Fishing weight sounds good. Or some sort of hardware used in rope rigging. Not terribly precise there huh?

Spexxvet · 09-07-2007, 08:06 AM

One of those Klingon double-bladed weapons? A backpack for a robot?

Actually, I agree with the fishing weight. The line goes through the two slits, which you squeeze shut to hold it in place.

Or its a metal bone

Zip. I have not a clue, but while we're waiting, I'll pitch this in.
Bruce sent me something about old cars and such, is what brought this to mind.

Is it part of the windshield of a Florida school bus?

cover over a small engine with a pull cord... chainsaw?

The honeycomb-like part looks like an air-filter cover from a lawn mower, and old gaskets.

zippyt · 09-07-2007, 08:52 AM

Nope ,
Nope ,
Nope ,
Nope , but good guesses all .
Now how long should this go befor it reveal what it is ??

glatt · 09-07-2007, 10:13 AM

One final guess from me, and then I give up.

You are a scales guy, right?

I'm going to guess that it's some sort of standardized weight for calibrating scales. Only thing is it looks really small for doing truck scales. But that's still my guess.

The notches, and the curvature, seem to indicate some kind of flexible, connective function. It reminds me, somehow, of a u-joint.
