WOW! That many huh? I am also addicted to these. I love the puzzle photos.

I'm just deciding which to put up next. One that may be easily recognizable or one that is favored by certain hobbyists and may require a little sleuthing on the web.

I avoid using the web because it makes me think harder. Even if I don't know what it is, what I observe may assist someone else in the correct answer. But I am not addicted to this!! :-)

(is that denial?)

Ok, I don't want to delay any more...people are way to addicted to wait until I get home. This should be quite easy:

Ice Cream Maker? Or "Ice Cream Churn". whatever the correct term is. I suppose it could be a butter churn also, though I think the Ice Cream one's more likely.

If it's a butter churn, you can have the honors :-)

Nope, neither butter nor ice cream.

I'l guess for the whistle.

Grape smasher or press?

Control on a trolley car?
01/27/2012 09:36:27 PM · #1415
Some sort of pressure cooker?
 01/27/2012 09:36:47 PM · #1416
Yup!

Sorry for the delay, had another publicity shoot tonight. Ugh,will be posting this in a separate topic...how do you take good photos of fast moving dancers when there is no light and lots of shadows. Ugh.

Anyway, yes, its the control for a trolley car. Taken at the Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor, CT.


So...here is the hidden hint on these photos which I just realized. If you had looked at the exif of the photo, you would have noticed it was geotagged and then you would have seen the trolley. :)

ETA: I had forgotten it was geotagged, that wasn't an intentional insight to the photo. :)

That's a surprise. I have never been on a trolly car that I can remember, however I did see the ones in New Orleans about 25 years ago. I'm currently out of mysteries. I need to get a few in waiting for later.
Someone who has been waiting to get one can take this turn for me.

Well, since this thread has stalled, here's a new thing to work on. Some have seen this already, so please let the ones who haven't seen it guess.
What's the thing under construction on the boat trailer in the center here?

Artificial inseminator for Godzilla?

Art? got anything?

alien anal probe!

LOL, did you really make it that easy? I think I'm one of those aforementioned folks that need to abstain!

Edit: Damn fat fingers!

I too suspect I must abstain.

Let me take a wild guess. A melon launcher.

Not a melon musket,,,,, Hummm? Sounds like an idea for later though.
Hint, has to do with getting more altitude for a specific application.
