Can you identify this?

[BJH]

Hopefully it's what Satan and his little helpers are applying to Cyril Smiths ar5e while burning his feet.

 

[Davidc]

It's an oojamaflippit. No question. The Mk IV version.

 

[classic33]

Its one of those yokes.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I'm guessing it's a vintage bicycle tool of some sort. All the purpose-built bicycle tools seem to be really odd-looking. Exhibit A: the chain whip. The prosecution rests, Your Honour.

 

[screenman]

It is not a rear hanger adjustment tool, that is for sure.

I'm with those that think it's something to do with ropes.

 

[Acyclo]

It's a drill. For wood.

 

[classic33]

It's a drill. For wood.

No sign of any edge to it. Possibly stone?

 

[andrewpreston]

Device for the removal of hemorrhoids caused by racing saddles.

 

[classic33]

Hole left would be the right size for a small explosive charge.

It is a doo-dah for digging the holes the correct depth for putting plants or bulbs or watchyamacallits in the ground. You adjust the cross member thingy to the correct depth for the bulb, carefully measuring from the lower edge of the cross member doobury to the pointy end of the wotsit.

Then you use arrow-head wotsit to make a small hole the right depth, by applying pressure with your foot on to the cross member wotsit to push the doo-dah into the ground.
