What is the diameter of the circular part?
walksoftly,
the gizmo is at a friends house right now, so I will have to measure it later.
Thanks for asking , I will get back to you.
reminds me of a can opener (without a blade?) and the covers that go over sternos (heating/candle-type devices with an open flame)
I wondered if it fit an open can to seal it back up again.
good call walksoftly, does look like it would seal something...
If this seals some item, maybe we are looking at a picture of the bottom?
My first guess would have been a Sterno flame damper also.
Quick get an empty soup can so we can try it :)
Walksoftly the wheel is roughly 2&1/2 inches in diameter.
Someone just told me it as used to lift hot jars out of a bath for canning.
Thanks to one and all.
All bets are off.
The person who told me it as used to take hot jars out of the bath for canning now admits that they have never seen one used and have never used one.
Further help needed---------------please.
Baby-food jar resealear!
Hunter,
Are you 100% positive.
Have you used one or seen one used?
Thanks in advance
Kitchenwareguy:
No, never, 0% positive, just making a guess! You're the only one with access to the thing, so you'll have to test it out and let us know ;)
So now we have to wait for someone to have a baby to find out.
guessing it looks like a can opener that has a top to keep juice from splattering...lol
or maybe to lift hot cans of beans off the campfire
I too think it is for covering and lifting hot cans. this is fun.
Found on Ebay, fuel holder, sterno holder
Not the same as the picture on Ebay!
Wick cutter and candle snuffer.
I believe this one is to lift hot can such as STERNO fuel.
Maybe it's an old clothes pin of some sort...I have plastic ones that look very similiar
Caseville,
Do you have a picture of your plastic clothes pin?
