What the Heck Is It? #10

Happy Thursday friends, and welcome to another edition of What the Heck Is It?

What the Heck Is It #9There 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!

 

What the Heck Is It? #10

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!

    1. 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.

    1. Thanks again Kim.! It’s the coolest thing.

    1. Thanks Mary! Isn’t it the coolest thing? Now that I know what it is I can’t wait to try it out.

    1. 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.

  7. I had no idea but a butter curler (or chocolate curler) makes perfect sense now!!
