unusual and old, but what?
« on: October 22, 2011, 10:30:09 AM »
I ran across this thingamajig on another site and thought you all might enjoy seeing it. They weren't just messing around when they made this. It's a beauty for sure.

It's for pulling something for sure.  If it has a beverage connection, my wag would be for withdrawing corks from wine bottles.  The handle of a corkscrew would fit nicely into the lifting hooks, and the bottle  would rest under the wachamacallits on the bottom.

You got it. Kind of disappointing though, I was hoping for something more interesting.

OK, it is really a secret mafia torture device used on the fingers of informants in back alleys of Brrrklyn New york ; P

It is interesting tho, think of the poor slob working in a resturant, opening 50 bottles a night one by one with a corkscrew. This machine would be his sweetest dream come true...
