Guess what this is a photo of!

Is it a decorative "seal" on some product? Similar to the red fake wax seal on a Tanqueray gin bottle.

 

[Barbara L]

Not a seal. This item is used by people all over the world, and of any age at all, from newborn to senior citizens.

Is it a button?

 

[miniman]

Is it used in sewing as a protector?

 

[Barbara L]

Pacanis got it (just in time too, as we are leaving for awhile). It is a button.

You're kidding me......

Well, tell us more. Is it an antique? Is that really a woman's figure on it? Give me time to find something

 

[Barbara L]

All I know is I did a search for "unique buttons" and found that at ebay. It's just a decorative button.

Ok.
Something quick. Here it is. What is it or what it is used for?

 

[Barbara L]

It looks kind of like a bingo number holder!

[Barbara L]

Does it hold cotton balls? If not, it looks like it would work for that!

I know, but I have banned myself from guessing, as I have proven to be bad at being the picture provider. I just saw one of these demonstrated not that long ago, and I was just mentioning it to my DW yesterday, funny coincidence.

 

[Barbara L]

Oooh, oooh, is it used to pick something up, like pecans or marbles?

I had a pecan picker that wasn't shaped like that but it had wire across the ends, and you just plunked it down on top of them and the pecans went into it.

That's it! It's a nut wizard
I just got it yesterday and can't believe how well it works. It's a breeze to pick up the black walnuts I have in my yard. It really surprised me that it didn't require any effort to have them push their way into the basket.
So I'd have to call it a tool, not a gadget (lol)

You're up Barbara

 

[Barbara L]

Sorry to be so long getting back to this--we didn't get to bed until right about when you were posting. I'll find something as quickly as I can!

[Barbara L]

What is this, and what is it used for?

[sattie]

Kinda looks like a tape degaussing thing we have at work. Or is it more kitchen related? Cleans stuff as it passes by on the belt... or cooked?

 

[Barbara L]

None of the above, but good guesses Sattie! Things do move on the belt.

A paint drying machine for small auto parts

 

[sattie]

Looks like the top can be adjusted up or down a bit. Yea Andy, paint baking machine??? hmmmm... this could do sooooo many things! What is under the hood? A light, heating element... something that disperses some sort of liquid? Ugh... I feel a hint will be needed at some point!!!

And if it cooks something.. has to be short and sweet!!!

Tortillas?

 

[Barbara L]

Paint drying machine is close.

P.S. I will check in as often as possible, but I am also getting ready to play a game or two, or three... of Literati, at Yahoo games, with my daughter.
