Today my nurse friend Charisse brought in this little gadget she brought home with her from a farm auction.
In the box she purchased were old potato mashers, spoons and other cutlery.
The handle on this thing is worn (so it was obviously used a lot) and has 4 curved blades. Two go in one direction, the other two in another. It's like maybe 6 (8?) inches long.
I held it and looked at it and didn't know.
She kept it with her and asked at least 20 of our old folks, most of them former farmers/farm wives was it was.
She even asked two of our mennonite ladies what it was, they didn't know, except Martha said she thought it might have been used to cut pastry.
None of them had a clue, but guessed.
Wish I'd have brought it home with me and snapped a pic to show you.
She wants to use it for a white elephant gift exchange, but won't until she knows exactly what it is.
Any idea?
