this looks like some kind of a wooden arbor, but I have no idea what it would hold. Perhaps a round scraper?

[Texas Ranger]

Nope, used in a manufacturing process.  But the mechanics are right.

[Texas Ranger]

Nope, wrong industry.

I don't know what someone else would use it for, but I see myself using it as an "attention gitter" for whomping catfish on the haid.  the threaded end wouldn't slip out of your hand even if you had a lot of worm "stuff" or catfish slime on them.  8)

Y'all need to read what Dan Shade said, and my reply.

[Tom]

I did read Dan's, Don.  :D   But, if we guess it, then we can't make all the asinine remarks anymore.  :D :D

Would you hang hanks on it?

[sawguy21]

Adjustable coffee stirrer, especially useful with the deep travel mugs when spoons are too short ;D

[Texas Ranger]

That's a TEXAS coffee cup, 8 inches across the brim, need it in the mornings at my age.  Soak my feet in it.

There are only a few specialists on this forum that might have a use for these particular items.  They usually come in a fairly high number set.

[Texas Ranger]

Ok, Ok, another hint.  Some of you boys, and girls, play with the product this helps produce. :
