What the Heck Is It? #10
Happy Thursday friends, and welcome to another edition of What the Heck Is It?
There were a lot of ideas about what last week’s Christmas mystery item might be… a soldier, a marionette, a dentist, a baseball player, Santa at the North Pole, a curler, a Shriner, and a chimney sweep.
I find it so interesting that we can all see different things in the same ornament. Thanks so much for all the wonderful suggestions. 🙂
I’m just going to call him a renaissance man ornament and say that he’s all those things. Why not?
He’s definitely a keeper!
I found this week’s mystery item in my regular thrift store’s 25 cent gadget bin.
I find a lot of interesting things in there, and for that price what the heck!
It’s about 6″ long and has a wooden handle.
I have no idea what this might be used for, but the first thing I thought of was those hooks they used to pull bad acts off the stage in the old vaudeville days.
It could be a miniature version… maybe for bad puppet show acts. 🙂
Ummm… probably not.
Here’s the inside of the hooky thingy.
I assume the notches on the inside were put there so it would be easier to bend the metal into shape. Or maybe they’re purely decorative.
It’s marked Weil, Stainless/Inox, Japan.
So, if it’s not a bad puppet act hook… then what the heck is it?
Thanks so much for reading and until next time…
keep on keepin’ on!

Found it at this site it is a butter curler. Gives instructions on how to use it. Quite interesting.
Thanks Kim! I never would have guessed that it’s a butter curler. I honestly never thought there was such a thing as butter curls, but it looks pretty cool.

This is another site that shows what it looks like when used.
Thanks again Kim.! It’s the coolest thing.
I have used mine for making chocolate curls
Thanks Colleen! How fun. I could definitely see myself both making and eating chocolate curls.
Yes, It’s a butter curler. I like Colleen B.’s idea for making chocolate curls,..Yum!
Me too Roz! I love chocolate 🙂
I saw it too as a chocolate curler.

Thanks Kris! I think I found my new favourite kitchen gadget. I pretty much love curlicue anything.
Gosh so interesting! Who would have guessed? not me! Love looking forward to these posts!
*hugs*deb
Thanks Deb! Certainly not me. I had no idea.
Love these posts!!!! Love the curler. thanks
Thanks Mary! Isn’t it the coolest thing? Now that I know what it is I can’t wait to try it out.
Yes, a curler makes sense. Now start baking and put some chocolate curlers on a cake so we can see how they look!!
lol. I am so not a cake baker, but I’ll figure out something for demonstration purposes. I love it! I think it’s so cool.
I had no idea but a butter curler (or chocolate curler) makes perfect sense now!!

Me either Tania! I’ve never made butter or chocolate curls in my life, but I may have to start now. Especially the chocolate. 🙂
I had no idea, but a curler sounds good to me. Figured someone would know this one.
Thanks Florence! I had no idea either. Now that I know I think it’s a pretty neat gadget.
