    20170714_121353_resized.jpg I apologize if this has been posted before. I have tried to search it and have no idea where to start and there are too many pictures in the gallery.
    Thank you so much!

    Six feet or so wide is it? More photos from different angles would help. Does anything move? What materials? Vegamatic blade?

    Welcome! :)
    Please go back and edit your photo to the full image option and always do this for all your photos. :)

    Many of us don't look at the gallery at all, only at photos in a post.
    :)

    I am sorry I am not sure how to do this. I had to make it smaller to upload. I will try to figure out what you are asking.

    When you load photos, at the top of the file is a button that states Full Image. :)

    If you size your photos to 480 x whatever number is given you'll never have trouble. :)

    This is only about 12" long and 6" wide. The metal is one big piece and i believe it is like aluminum. The metal is not sharp. It tilts up and down when you push on the round end. It looks like if you hold it up the metal piece faces down. 20170714_121403_resized.jpg 20170714_121414_resized.jpg 20170714_121356_resized.jpg

    I am doing this all on my phone so I am sending them through email to resize and then download back to my phone. I figured out the full size thing also. It was in a different spot on my phone.

    It looks like some sort of wool hackle or comb, although the teeth are not even.

    Not a clue but I'm wondering if some of the teeth have been broken off giving it a less uniform look than it might have had.

    The only thing that popped in my head but doesn't really seem right is old pill rollers.

    Thanks for the reply. I don't think it is one of those because it is a solid piece with no spaces.

    It does look like a pill roller based on the slots. the base area has a groove where you can poor something in and then press the side with the grooves down. We tried to figure out if some of the ends were broken off and it is hard to tell. The edges aren't sharp but they aren't rounded. It looks however like it was made that way because of the different lengths of the grooves?

    I thought that at first as well but then figured the size. :)
    Doesn't mean it's not some sorting tool though.

    I told my husband I thought it was a cranberry scoop. I will need to keep searching and see what I find.

    I knew the shape looked very familiar, but couldn't place it. Thanks, Komo, for at least identifying what I was thinking of, even that isn't what Wendy's item turns out to be!

    Hi,
    Here in Jersey in the cranberry bogs the scoops are at least two feet wide and would take many more hours trying to scoop with a little ity bity thing like that. Where would you be dumping the cranberries into? Too many things get very weird names.
