What's this?

[buckytom]

Guilt by association, but it's still funny.

 

[Herbie]

Not a corkscrew and not a citrus squeezer.

 

[Morning Glory]

Tin-opener (seems unlikely)

 

[Morning Glory]

Can we have a clue?

 

[buckytom]

Is it part of a gear/ratchet?

 

[Herbie]

Because of the "rounded" shape they must be gear teeth? Which would indicate that there's a gear wheel to the left or to the right.

You are correct. A wheel to the left.

 

[Morning Glory]

This is a cooking gadget, isn't it? I mean, I assumed so...

Yes.

 

[buckytom]

A sprocket in a stand mixer?

 

[Herbie]

No.

 

[Yorky]

You are correct. A wheel to the left.

I'm guessing there's a handle on the wheel to turn it and thereby move one of the "gear racks" left and right.

 

[Yorky]

Is it to squeeze or press something? Like the pastry rim of a pie?

 

[buckytom]

Any kind of clue would be nice.

 

[Herbie]

Is it to squeeze or press something? Like the pastry rim of a pie?

Yes, you squeeze it. I'll post amother picture.

Part of an apple press? Clutching at straws here... thinking of another thread.
