We encounter a variety of oddball and one of a kind items in our estate sale adventures. We've created a weekly (someties) WHATISIT blog post to explore some of our interesting or reminiscent treasures!
We held our last flea market for the year this weekend and had over 40 vendor booths filled with unique items. One vendor, a 25 year flea market veteran, Ron Liszewski, had a treasure from the 1920's. We've posted some pictures of this item below. We'd love to hear your theories about this unique antique. What could it be???
We'll post "the answer" later this week!
Feel free to use the comments to post your guesses, information or experiences. You can also post them in response to the facebook post as well!
ReplyDeleteDoes it have to do with turning water on, a valve handle? Liz
ReplyDelete....Or, is it a footrest for someone riding on the back of a bike?
ReplyDeleteEveryone has very good guesses as to what this mystery object is. Its not related to food preparation. Its not related to turning water on or off, its not for beauty enhancement nor bikes...
ReplyDeleteThis, ladies and gentlemen, is from Merrill Manufacturing and is in the antique medical instrument area. It was produced in the 1920's and is a device used for suppository purposes.
Hmmm... No one guessed it! Better luck next time.
