Guess what this is a photo of!

[sattie]

A ruler or measuring device?

 

[YT2095]

some sort of Hole punch?

 

[expatgirl]

Does something set on it or is it a holder of some sort or kind?

 

[Katie H]

No, Renee, wouldn't be found in the yard or garden.

No, sattie, not a ruler or measuring device. And not a hole punch, YT.

expat, yes, something does sit on it and it holds something.

 

[expatgirl]

It looks like something slides into it--that is, it's slotted

 

[Katie H]

Yes, something does slide into it. Keep goin'.

 

[sattie]

A cutter of some sort? Like a pvc cutter or something like that? I know I have seen something similar to this before, but can't put my finger on it.

 

[Katie H]

No, not a cutter. PVC or otherwise.

 

[expatgirl]

Is that projection at the end just a handle that is being held in place by the metal rod so that whatever that slides in can be carried around from place to place?

 

[Katie H]

Yes, it's a handle, but it doesn't get carried around. It does its work in place.

 

[expatgirl]

you also wanted us to guess who used this as well----so I'm going to start at that angle----would this be used by an office worker?

 

[Relayer]

It looks like a device that would precisely align something and probably also assist in accurate loading of something. More hints?? )

 

[Relayer]

A dovetail alignment and the "pin" thingy looks like a loader or inserter of some kind, rather than a "set screw" sort of thingy. Am I closer?

 

[expatgirl]

Great to have some new brain synapses on board, Relayer! Help us crack the code!

 

[Relayer]

Thanks expatG...trying here. The tiny photo should mandate a few more hints, no?

 

[sattie]

Would a carpenter use it? I'm going with expatgirl... great idea!!!

Pretty good observation, Relayer.

Nothing a carpenter would use, sattie. Think smaller. Not anything to do with the building industry.

Relayer,

Look at page 276 and at the bottom #2758 JeeKinz wonderfully managed to blow it up to give a few more details though you probably know already when you blow up small pictures they get blurry but it really helped me with a few more guesses. Good luck and welcome aboard!!

 

[expatgirl]

Glad to see you back, Katie E.! Is it something that an office worker would use or someone that deals with computers?

Thanks, Sattie,

Carpentry was going to be my next guess as well but Katie E., says "Nyet"-- so how do you say "oh, pickles" in Russian?? Where is Charlie D. by the way?
