  Ohhhhhhh these are very good guesses indeed but non are the right ones so far. I do love old and ancient things. Part of my house is set up like Indiana Jones because of it. Oops! Have I given a hint? Maybe. Maybe not.

somewhere...fairyland...lol
Oh this is a macro?

  Lol...You are so funny! Wait until you realize it's a UFO landing pad for off set fruit flies. OH SHOOT! Did I wreck it?

No wait. That's not the right answer either. I love the steel bridge idea. I think there is a "copper" racing over it to give out a ticket on the "loop"!.

  Gee WHIZ. I think I completely mis-understood your guess, John!!! Not a POP BOTTLE OPENER but the thing that helps it hang on the wall...

WELL THAT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT MATTER. (And answers why I couldn't get the pop bottle opened!)

But nope. That is not it. Lol... :D

Snort snort...

  R, r, r... :D

You know that is the funniest paint job I have ever seen. Depending on the lighting it changes colors. I think the true color is a burgundy...but the lady had it pained NAVY BLUE before that! So that comes through at times making purple feels to it. Very strange paint indeed... but that is not the correct answer. :D

GOOD TRY!!!! (Or was "IT"??? HeeHee)...

Oooo! Hook to hang keys or part of a table leg...Clever!!! But, no!

*

Interesting! Part of camping equipment... You know... MAYBE in the WAGON TRAIN DAYS...And before. This MIGHT have been used while camping out but I'd have to say in general, NO!

A Stake - A Steak (heehee) to tie something (like a UFO??) down...? Neither!

I love a good game of Whazzit. :D

Mumj is right. It is IT...And it's a thing.

  Hi Everybody! What great guesses :)))

Well, Wm, I love your guess but it's not snow shoes of any kind. Canadian tire wouldn't carry this item...but maybe an old mercantile store (hardware store) would have back in the day?

THIS ITEM WAS USED ALL YEAR LONG (and on each date on the calendar too!) by EVERY FAMILY likely. :) (GOOD HINT!)

*

Mumj, Wm's guess WAS a great guess, wasn't it?! :D

*

Hi Big Sis Lydia! You didn't guess this time but I will say this. It has nothing to do with snow or ice.

*

Which brings us to Laura Lee and Mike's entry here. Tell Mike GREAT GUESS! Like connected to a hook or giant ice pick or ice block mover. Neat! But no. No hook involved. This item used to be used in homes. A lot. And here is the kicker... NOT USED JUST IN THE KITCHEN BUT IN LITERALLY EVERY ROOM of the house! HA! Huge hint as far as things it is not!

*

Little Sister - Now YOUR guess would fit the criteria of "every room in the house". How great is that...?! But NOPE! Incorrect.

So, I have given you some good hints.

  HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You two (and everyone!) put your heads together and come up with it.

It is not a lamp or a snuffer. So what else can it be that you have been talking about kind of???

OM GOSH! You are both SO SO SO CLOSE!!!

It's any mans guess! Bring it on guessers!

I am about to watch a movie with subtitles. I'll be back afterwards! :D

  Just remember the rules of the game. In Whazzit, you have to be very specific. Neither of you have it exactly, but both are hot and warm.

Laura Lee Lee, you WIN the WHAZZIT!

THIS is a (BRASS) CANDLE HOLDER.

Very commonly used in the olden days before electricity! The users would have it on the table beside them but often they carried these around the house with them so they could see where they were going. It is designed to catch the dripping wax and to stay a safe distance from the users hand.
