In a previous post, I provided the following information:
I came across this little item during our recent travels. It has an interesting purpose.
What do you think it is? Include the interesting purpose, if you can.
I’ll provide the answer later in the week if no one gets it correct.
Some additional information:
- I came across it in a National Park visitor center.
- I took a photograph of it because it reminded me of a post someone had written on their blog about a relative — a post I cannot find right now.
- It’s a 19th century artifact.
- Debo and Dot have come closest so far

These images were taken in July 2001 on the tour ferry to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty — two weeks after the 4th of July holiday and less than two months before that terrible day in September.
The top image is, of course, the Statue of Liberty. The second is the main building of the Ellis Island immigration station and the last is of the unbroken skyline of Manhattan Island from the tour ferry.
The photos were taken with our first digital camera, a Sony Mavica, 0.8 megapixel camera that saved images on a 3.5 inch floppy disk!
We stayed home all day — so far — and I worked on my landscaping project. Tonight, providing the weather allows, we’ll be driving down into the valley to see the fireworks. We haven’t gone to a 4th of July fireworks display since 1995 in Jackson, Wyoming, the same day we saw fresh snow in Yellowstone National Park.
