What the Heck Is It? #14

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

You may remember that the last mystery item was submitted by a TRV reader, Linda, who didn’t know what this fun item was.

Well, it was you guys to the rescue!

Turns out it’s a daisy maker.

Who would’ve thought? Certainly not me.

Thanks so much for helping Linda out. 🙂

 

 

This week’s mystery item comes from a blogging friend, Kathleen from Our Hopeful Home formerly Charm Bracelet Diva (at home).

 

What the Heck Is It #14

When I saw this in one of her Thrill of the Hunt posts I was intrigued by it. Whether it’s silver plate, aluminum, or galvanized pieces I have a thing for silver-coloured metals.

Kathleen didn’t know what it was, and neither did I, so I asked her if I could share it. I’m hoping you guys have some ideas for her.

It measures 3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″.

It still has the original tag on it, and it definitely looks vintage.

She picked it up at Goodwill for 50 cents.

I think it’s a pretty cool item.

What the heck is it? Any ideas?

Thanks so much for reading and until next time…

keep on keepin’ on!

    Looks like it would hold match sticks or used as a cigarette box

  2. Wow, you got me on this one! The outside of it kinda looks burned. Could it have been to cook something in…..possibly over a campfire? That`s pretty far out there. I`m sure someone knows what it is!!! Fun stuff, though! Love these posts! Dona

  3. Sure wish I knew after you all helped me out with the daisy maker, but I haven’t a clue…. The cigarette box seems a possibility, but it sure would be hard in a pocket!

  4. I believe it might possibly be an item from WWII soldier’s kit for rations. Just a guess though! I remember my dad describing such items.

  5. Sturm made (and makes) products for the military. My grandfather had a shaving kit and it looked a little like this.

  6. Brackets for a saw horse???

    What is a daisymaker?

  7. It’s a portable stove. Still used by scouts and hikers today (in Australia at least). You open it up and put a solid fuel block in, light it, and put your cooking vessel on top. Youtube it – they’re great for hikers. Different brands available – Sturm, Minin, Esbit.

    1. Exactly my first thought was a cooker of some sort.

    Flip it upside down so the legs are pointing down. Put sterno underneath and you have a little cooking top.

  10. Whatever it is, it is cool! I would have grabbed it for 50 cents too!
