I voted for a telephone magneto. I have no idea what a telephone magneto is or what it does, but I'm guessing some of its component parts are comprised of magnets, given the name "magneto." And the three red loopy things look like magnets to me. Either that or a clock mechanism. No, telephone magneto. I voted for telephone magneto. I'll stick with that. However, on second thought . . . . .  :-\   ;)   :laugh:

Okay everyone. Take a look at this.

This is a perfect example of what I call a "hit and run" post. She swooped in here and posted a message without providing any pertinent information!

MELISSA!!  >:(

 :laugh:  :laugh:

You won't even tell us what you thought it was? I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself here.  ;)

We're all wondering what you think it is!

You never know, Kerry! I might have made that word up.  8)

You can always change your answer if you want to!

But, you know what they say: your first answer is normally the correct one!  :D

So, what are you going to do, buddy? Stick with your first answer, or change it?  ;)

I'm MEAN, aren't I??

We're all dazzled by Dottie's smileys. Everytime I read one of her posts, it's almost like I'm watching a movie! VERY COOL!!  8)

So, you got your colleague to guess this one too? Not bad, if I do say so myself!

Sorry I didn't post the answer in a timely fashion. I've been feeling under the weather, and I've had to deal with some family matters.


Anyway......





The answer is a Telephone Magneto

According to the website where I found this item, a telephone magneto was the part of the telephone a person would crank in order to alert the operator they would like to place a call.


Thanks for playing!!!  :D

I'll post another "what is it" within the next couple of days!
