What the... What? (#5)

We have a special phrase around the store when we find things in our travels that are particularly unusual, odd, confusing, or sometimes hideous.  When we come across one of these items, we like to use one of our favorite Lucketts-isms, "What the... What?"  Here is one of those items from the store.

See if you can guess what this is and leave us a comment if you think you know!  We'll reveal the item's true identity and purpose later this week.  


Can you identify this item from The Old Lucketts Store and tell us how it was once used? 

What the... What?

  7. I think its a toothpick dispenser! My other guess was a pencil sharpener, but that doesn't seem as practical :)

  9. Andi - Sure, you can send your picture of the mystery item to luckettstore@gmail.com (attn: Blog) and we can try to figure it out. Sounds like fun!
