I like that answer Sue. It looks perfect for the job. Can I use it to make square cookie sandwiches to hold the ice cream?

Looks like the thumb lever on the bottom extends the flat square at the top, so I'll guess a spatula. (Or a mini snow shovel? Since it must be food related, it may be for snow cones.)

It wasn't that obvious to me QueenBea.

Looks to be a grinder of some sort. Meat comes to mind, of course, but it might also be used on something round -- like an apple?

Got another one for us to play with?

Well gracious. How does it work? Does the crank reduce the size of the opening or turn the food being peeled? Any pics of it in action? This demonstrates that all the lurkers out there could play this game. It just takes a willingness to look foolish and a guess based on what we can see. (There are ...

Thanks, Bergy. Often when I arrive, the item has already been identified, but it's still fun to see vintage gadgets. My favorite so far was the tin oven. This one looks as though it slices while holding the to-be-sliced food. I assume one would have a bowl or plate underneath to catch the whatevers....
