#616 is an electric cigarette lighter. I collect ones that are made of glass, there are dozens of variations.

That's it! You think the brain could come up with single or double-tree this morning?
Yes, it does seem like the heating elements were made to fit into a pipe, it was marked cigar lighter so that was my default answer. I found an old advertisement on ebay for one of these, in the ad they don't limit themselves to any particular type of smoke, it says "For cigar, cigarette and pipe":
You may be right, it would make more sense to saw the wood first. I had shown this to a number of people before posting here and guesses included:
nut cracker wood splitter clothes line pole top plant stalk splitter
Looks like I showed it to too many city slickers.

From RCM nothing to do with the puzzles but I was stunned and incredibly pleased to seethe advert for "The Way Things Go". My VHS copy (taped off PBS )wore out from the number of people who borrowed it.
the DVD will be ordered within the week.

According to R.H. :
I grew up with a horse in the back yard, but it was never hitched to anything for drawing, so I did not have any familiarity with the equipment used in that.
Of the four guesses listed above, I would have only considered the clothes line pole top to be a possible, and not very probable, as it was too good for the purpose. :-)
Enjoy, DoN.
P.S. I've been collecting things to photograph to supply you with some more strange items.
Sounds good, send them to me whenever you get around to shooting them, I've got enough items to last a while but I always enjoy seeing new things. Anyone else should also feel free to send photos to me if they have something appropriate for the site.
