Mystery Object

What is this? It has been in every section of my favorite thrift store over a period of several month and apparently nobody knows what it is. Can The Cellar prevail?

I know what it is and where it goes. I don't know how you got it but I know where I left it.

:D

haha just found that myself and came to post it, thanks!

what search terms did you use? I was successful with Rastafarian Mexican plastic hair tool

I'll probably get banned from places for having a racist search history

I thought it might be some sort of sewing or knitting tool, but then after looking at it again, it looked more like a kitchen tool, and then I thought it must be a potato masher, so I searched for potato mashers.

I've been thinking kitchen or laundry tool, but never crossed my mind to put it near a potato! looks like it would be pretty useless -no wonder someone donated it!

I found it in the toy department yesterday so decided to end the mystery.

I'm glad it's not a sex toy :eek:

We own this potato masher, and it actually works really well. It's just a pain in the ass to store in a drawer. It's always making the drawer get jammed when you try to open or close it.

but that's completely different. the rasta one curls up towards the handle :/

Not meaning to belittle your pain, but ALL potato mashers are drawer-unfriendly.
When I rule the world, all kitchens will have specific deep drawers for items like this.

Or maybe I'll just make everyone eat Smash instead.
Bwahahahahaha!!!! Depends how benevolent I feel.

I, for one, welcome our potato masher overlords. :-)

Sundae, deep drawers don't help, they just need to be in utensil holders on the counter. more counter space is what we need.

I thought it might be a Weeble, depicting Rastafarian Beest.

For the news-junkie Dwellars... what is this ?

Hint: It's old and cracked

It looks completely wrong for this answer, but the description you gave suggests King Tut's beard...
And if it is I'm sorry for spoiling it for everyone else. I only heard the story on the radio, so it a misleading photo wouldn't faze me.

Luckily I think I am completely wrong as it looks more like a map than anything.

Sorry, Sundae... but surprisingly the labels is have a connection(?) to Tut !

is it his preserved organs????

Sorry, LJ. Not at all that kind of connection.

It's that comet they landed a craft on.

Hooray for Glatt... I sort of figured he would be the one who got it !

Here are 2 links to sort of justify my hints...

This is a link to the "crack"

I do admit to cropping and flipping the pic in several modes to make Google Image searches more difficult.
