OT : Need help identifying something...

[Citrusdog]

I bought this for 0.25 at a yard sale - and I really don't know what it is... but it's interesting.

It's really well made - and it swivels and can chop, cut or lop something off.

I figure somebody out here knows what this is...

Something about this view makes me think horrible thoughts...

 

[alexd]

I'm thinking "Saw"...Part 1....2....3...anyone...

 

[Kitaman]

Hippopotamas Tooth extractor perhaps?

 

[Deepster]

Isn't that some ob-gyn tool?

 

[Fishy]

It's a piece of useless crap.

Treasure it.

I thought it was a castrator.

You know, it's about that time of year we need Prankster to find us a disgusting hairy mascot of some labia or some penis disfigurement disease or something. We need to repeat as champs!

It's a circumciser. Personally, I'm opposed to circumcising babies. Why cut something off before you know how big it's gonna get?......

Tom, was it dumb luck that you found that or did you know what it was? I was trying to figure out how I'd go about googling a description of that thing. I decided it was too difficult to bother.

I had an idea. My grandmother had something similar.

Good god. Don't make me go down that road. Don't get me wrong, I most certainly will, it's just that I refuse to pull any punches. Tom would truly have a heart attack.

Actually I just googled medieval castration devices. I was afraid to see the results, but it turned out okay.
