Guess what this is a photo of!

Not a rain guage, babe

Inserted.... hmmm.... Not exactly. Definitely not the object in the second pic, but the first one I posted you could say is partially inserted into something to perform its function. The narrow end makes its function easier.

 

[LadyCook61]

some kind of syringe ?

 

[pacanis]

Nope. Not a syringe.
It does not have anything to do with liquids, nor plunging out its contents.

 

[miniman]

Tyre pressue gauge. I have had one similar for my bicycle.

 

[LadyCook61]

Nothing to do with the weather and nothing to do with bikes.

by bikes do you mean motorcycles or bicycles ?

 

[miniman]

Tyre pressue gauge. I have had one similar for my bicycle.

Sorry missed half the conversation.

 

[LadyCook61]

is it used with an air compressor ?

 

[miniman]

Is it a gas sampler?

 

[pacanis]

It has nothing to do with anything with wheels or tires. Nothing to do with air, gases, liquids...... It is used with solids, one in particular.

 

[Andy M.]

PEZ dispenser?

 

[LadyCook61]

does it have anything to do with gardening ?

 

[pacanis]

PEZ dispenser?

Was that a real guess? Anyway, no.
It "dispenses" something, but not Pez.

And nothing to do with gardening.

 

[Andy M.]

Was that a real guess?...

No, just feeling a little jocular.

 

[pacanis]

I was thinkin', but wasn't positive.

Other than the fact that you have given us a few clues, I don't have a clue! I haven't found any pictures to back these crazy thoughts, but could it be something to measure the size of pearls? To measure the size of ball-bearings? To measure the depth of topsoil? To measure the depth of the snow-pack?

Well, I'm out of ideas for now!

[pacanis]

Sorry Barbara, none of those either.

It's use is very similar to how measuring spoons are used, but with its own specific substance to measure.

 

[TyPiece]

heres a wild guess......is it used for seeding your garden?

 

[pacanis]

I see where you're coming from, Blood, but that's not it either.

Let's see if this gets a different direction going;
I set it is used outside. It could be used inside, but that would be considered unsafe. Most everyone that would be using this would be doing so outside.

 

[Andy M.]

Is solid matter drawn into it to be measured or is it filled with a measure of solid matter and ejected into something.

 

[buckytom]

since it shouldn't be used indoors, is the material that it uses combustible?
