And what's this?

[Penthesilea]

Sorry, I have only one pic. But the thing looks the same from the other side and you can judge it's dimensions by the hand.

Is this:

• A measure instrument, used by coney breeders to measure the full length of the stretched hind legs of rabbits
• A darning hook, especially for darning gloves
• A vintage drawing instrument, that helped drawing to scale
• A can opener for special kinds of cans
• A geese feeder, used when feeding stuffed geese/force-fed geese

Poll will be open one week and solution will be posted next Tuesday.

It looks like a measuring instrument to me. But, I don't think I've been correct ONE TIME with these, so maybe the rest of you should vote for something else!

          I am once again devided on this one..So what else is new...??  I said the darning hook,
but its probably the goose feeder

[Cameron]

I never get these right either, but I voted for the drawing tool for this one.

[dot-matrix]

I'm voting for the drawing instrument because it sort of makes sense to me.

I cannot image stuffing it down the throat of a goose or grabbing a rabbits leg and stretching it along the stick.  Darning hook for gloves, maybe but only if the gloves belong to the Jolly Green Giant...Have to a pretty special can if that would open it considering there is nothing there to puncture the can with or to cut through the metal. Sooooo, yep by a process of elimination I'm voting for the drawing instrument

That's a good answer too Dottie. But it has those little thingies sticking out of it, and this makes me think it's a measuring instrument to calculate distances on scaled maps.

I could be wrong though. I normally am!

It's a darning hook for gloves! 

[ifyoucantfixit]

It's a darning hook for gloves! 

           Thats what i think Kerry!!!!  So we will be right together, or embaressed together.

Can opener! 



Nobody guessed it right. But for your brave guesses, I have a little reward for you. A video of how this can opener is used:

The voice explains that this can opener is used mostly in the Mediterranean area, esp. in Spain. It's used by housewifes who are afraid to ruin their finger nails

Pigs will fly before I guess one of these correctly.

Thanks Chrissi for posting this puzzle!

Well David, then you'll guess correctly next time for sure:



Keep trying and pigs will learn flying   

[Penthesilea]

Oh thank goodness for that!  I didn't think of those types of cans ... I was thinking along the lines of beans!!

See ... Bettermost is educational as well as fun!

Me, too  .
I couldn't imagine how you can open a can with it when I read it is a can opener.
To be fair, I had added "for special kinds of cans".
