UPDATED: What’s That Sunday
contests March 29th, 2009I have a bad feeling about this. Something tells me someone is going to guess this object right away.
What is that?
How to play:
1. The photo shows a small portion of a larger object.
2. First person to guess the object it’s a part of wins either 500 Entrecard credits or a Junk Drawer magnet, your choice.
Go!
UPDATE March 30
I read through all the comments so far, and only one person is close. And I only mean "close" by the way he described the top part of the object pictured.
Shinade asked if I’m enjoying torturing you. Why, yes. Yes, I am. But not so much that I won’t give you more of the object to go on. This picture shows the bottom half of the part you see pictured above.
Does this help?
Stumble it!
March 29th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
I will have to come back and get my vote in. My immediate comments are too hysterical and way off base, I’m sure. But I’m having fun coming up with ideas. Thanks for my morning smile.

Keep trying!
March 29th, 2009 at 5:26 pm
Is it part of come old icebox? It’ looks llike the top ot bends over something clear — plastic, ice, glass, or gelatin. It’s like something that is supposed to hold the clear part in place.

It actually looks like the old handcuffs a cop I used to know has. Antique for sure. But I never get these right, and never have. I figure if I amuse you enough I’ll get my darn magnet.
So…the innards of a watch once owned by H.G, Wells that allowed him to time travel and he forgot it buried underneath a bunch of dirt, save for one little piece which is why it’s shiny.

Since we’re not even close, I am going to guess its the air intake for a Fokker DR1 that was flying over your house one day during WWI and this fell off and was buried in your backyard until you decided to divide your Gladiolus and were digging a hole and found it.

Since no one has gotten it yet, here’s my guess: It’s part of your garage door. Specifically, a connector/attachment thingy that fastens the chain (used to raise and lower the door) to the door itself. I can’t wait to see how wrong I am!

It’s a lock on a steamer trunk
March 30th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
I think Kristin probably got it right. Do we get anything if we guess the correct guesser? If not, then I’m going to guess it’s the fastener to a canister you keep in your kitchen, like to hold pasta or sugar or flour, etc….

March 30th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
well, it’s part of an old drum. there are a few of those placed around the drum and they are used to keep the membrane on the drum. they also can be used to adjust the tension so your drum sounds fancy.
i guess.
March 30th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Its a clamp to keep a lid on tight.

GoingLikeSixty’s last blog post..Geeky Animated Graphical Interchange Format Monday
March 30th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Im guessing that in the first photo we see the rim, claw / hook and tension rod of an old drum (i.e percussion instrument, not barrell) in the second picture it looks to be a lug.
March 30th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
hey Kathy,
A clamp that holds something closed. Perhaps the clamp that the judge handed you for your mouth when you were picked for jury duty? ~ Steve
PS. This is a good “what’s that”!
steve, trade show guru’s last blog post..Gardening, zip-lines, tadpoles, and God

i think it’s a part of a drum, and that part is used to pull the skin of the drum over a frame
March 30th, 2009 at 9:35 pm
It sure looks like rather than a clamp, that you tighten the bolt to secure the top part in place. I don’t have a specific guess, though there are lots of good ones above. The only other thing that comes to mind is that it is nautical in some way.
By the way I am very pleased to see Steve stumped although I have come to depend on him having the answers when he comments at my site! (I still have not forgiven him for telling me that he can pick home grown tomatoes in February).

Okay here goes….now reminds me of our oil furnace tank when we lived in Maine. so new guesses, the tank that holds your oil for your furnace, or, a smoker for cooking meats, ….oh dear….you are good at this!!
Okay one more, a wood burning stove and this is some part that controls the ventilation.
Furnace, Smoker, Wood burning stove, Tank for fuel for furnace in cellar, Hot water heater.
Those are my guesses for today!!
you really fixed us up good this time!!:-)
