What the?
This is one of my most prized possessions. It sits high up in a corner of our kitchen with its four little legs standing on the plastic conduit to the fan above our hob. To give you a better sense of scale, I have now briefly placed it on that hob before putting it back where it has belonged for many years.
Many's the time I thought about featuring this unique, handmade item in this blog and at last I have got round to it but what is it? Please put your ideas in the comments section or write something like "I am completely flummoxed!" or "I have no frigging idea!"
Is it for castrating wayward husbands?
ReplyDeleteOh, has Mrs Dunham got one?
Delete(No, it's not that).
A post-modern dachshund sculpture???
ReplyDeleteI can see where you are coming from with that suggestion.
DeleteI have no idea! Cutting board? Board to filet fish? I hope you know because if you don't, I wonder why Mrs. Pudding has let you keep it in the kitchen this long????
ReplyDeleteBoard? Can't you see the four little legs Mother Thyme?
DeleteIt's a hobbyhorse Corgi crossed with a Unicorn. Or a Lobi stool.
ReplyDeleteKeep off the grass!
DeleteA loaf loafer of course, also known as a bread horse. Doesn’t everyone have one?
ReplyDeleteKeep off the grass!
DeleteCoconut scraper?
ReplyDeleteNo comment.
DeleteHahaha!
DeleteIt reminded me a little of a birthing stool but then I looked it up
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't wish to give birth on it. Mind you, I am seventy years old and I do not have a womb.
DeleteLooks more like a coconut scrapper to me (with the actual scrapper missing) We have one which is about 45 years + and I still use it. https://joezachs.blogspot.com/2021/09/coconut-scraper.html
ReplyDeleteMy item is 51 years old and its "scraper" is there and fully visible.
DeleteOkay, a few hints. Where did you get this from? Did you make it yourself?
ReplyDeleteThe South Pacific. A schoolboy made it for me.
DeleteI like it though I have no idea what it is.
ReplyDeleteSounds like religion.
DeleteSome sort of animal, wearing a protective metal "hat", and with its bench-like back, allowing for more than one passenger to ride on it.
ReplyDeleteEh? Are you on some kind of mind-bending medication?
DeleteMaybe I should have eaten less mushrooms with that omelette...
DeleteIt's a thingymajig of course.
ReplyDeleteIn England, we spell "thingymajig" differently - "thingamajig". You must have been off school that day.
DeleteA mud scraper for wellies!
ReplyDeleteGood idea... but WRONG!
DeleteWTF?
ReplyDeleteIt's clearly a surrealist horse.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm guessing something to do with your time in the South Pacific. But I have no idea what it is.
It reminds me of one of those contraptions they have in supermarkets here to rest whole hams on for slicing.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably a left handed toggle whatsit for right handed people!
Yes. Coconut husker.
ReplyDeleteA shoe maker or leather worker's bench?
ReplyDeleteI agree with the others that it looks like a coconut scraper to me. It looks like it is meant to sit on a fence rail and with the weight of a human, give you a stable tool to use. We have a version in our house but it must be knelt on and doesn't lock onto anything so can be difficult to use. I have never seen one with the tin wrapped around it though.
ReplyDeleteA stumper
ReplyDeleteI see a dachshund
ReplyDeleteIt's for scraping crap off the oven and assorted oven trays
ReplyDeleteBelay my last comment. It's far too large.
