| We've
all heard the expression, "there's really nothing new under the sun,"
and these gadgets that never quite took off tend to support that.
However, I'll kiss your butt in Macy's window if you can tell me what
that thing on the lower right was for. Answer, and more gizmos HERE.
And, FYI, I absolutely would have purchased the 1920 map watch, and
replaced the scrolls with Latin declention crib sheets. |

Thing on the lower right looks like either a
ReplyDeletegas-valve key, a
double cigarette holder, a
you know, yeah, that thing, a
skate key for both US & metric skates, or a
Mark-II gag-adjuster for the Fromby Bros "Little Bitch" BDSM suits made before 1986.
The pipe-stem type base makes me think also that this is a double-barrelled cigarette holder. Smoke a Camel and a Lucky at the same time!
ReplyDeleteThe eye massager would have been a good thing to have after wearing the glasses I was issued in basic.

I would have guess dual cigarette holder, but only because somewhere along the line I saw something similar on THIS SITE.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't the only one that had that guess, you will have to do a lot of ass kissin'.
Cheaters!
ReplyDeleteWell it doesn't show anything to give it scale but it could be a boot puller for midgets.
ReplyDeleteThe dual prong brass thingy is first heated, and then inserted into the nostrils to remove nasal hair. It was not a well received device and very few survive today.

Tailgunner,
ReplyDeleteIt does explain Henry Waxman, though.

ReplyDeleteReferring to the device or the people that used it???
