Once in a while a Guild member will bring an interesting item to a meeting. The problem is, they don�t know what it is called or what it was used for. It maybe a kitchen gadget, or maybe not. Everyone has ideas, but most of the time we end up not knowing for sure. So we have decided to share our dilemma with the world. Can you help? Take a look at the pictures and descriptions below. Guesses are fun, and could give us a starting point, but the documented correct answer is even better. Send us your ideas. Contact Us |

| #1 This was found in a kitchen drawer at a household sale. Looks like it may be missing a part. Handle is stationary. There is very worn printing on the handle. First letter looks to be a P and the last D, the middle two (?) letters are to faded to make out. Blade area is not sharp.
Overall measurement about 5 ��. Previous Guesses: #1 A small chopper #2 A bowl scraper |

| #2 Over all length is 8 � �. Believe nose is soapstone, though it looks like metal in the picture, it measures about 3 3/4�, slims from about 1� down to about 5/8� round. There is a center opening (hole) that goes the full length of the nose, is is about 5/16� round. Handle is wood. There are no markings.
