Yeah, but Paul owns it, so you know it's probably from the 1800's... ;)

I always figured it was one of Franklin's lesser-known inventions ... ;-)

Well it has been a lightning rod for discussion!

I guess the key was recognizing it was electrical in nature ...

And that there were no strings attached... but you can tell me to go fly a kite if you wish!

Bated breath, bated breath... Maybe the long-awaited robot nipple is about to emerge? (cough, cough)

Well rats, I must apologize to the group, I ran late from work yesterday and life took over. I looked briefly but could not locate my "mystery object" so if anyone else has a whatsit, go ahead, otherwise I will get something up later.

It's a threaded fastener repair insert, most commonly trade-named Heli-Coil.

I'll get something up within the next hour, I gotta renew my membership now, because I haven't won the "Edit Cory's Bird" side challenge, yet!

We should probably wait for confirmation from Kirbic... But yeah, it darn sure looks like you're right.

Ha, confirmed! I didn't think that would take too long with all the techies in here.

The little notch where you break off the part used to screw it into the machine was definitely an ID clue.

Yep, that was a big clue... honestly, though, this was one where looking just at the thumbnail almost was more informative than investigation of detail on the part. After I posted it, I looked at the thumb and thought "oh, this is just going to be too easy!"

ETA: Not to worry though, I've got a tougher one in queue!
