What is it? Weekend Edition 7

[Rob H.]

These photos were all sent in to me, I don't know the answer for number 28:

1. I had posted one of these a little while ago:

[Robin Halligan]

with the stems folded and across the slot at the back and the nose rests on the "nose"

[Rich Grise]

or mudslide, and turned sideways. ;-)

[Rob H.]

Correct, it's a nightstand glasses holder.

1. I had posted one of these a little while ago: Bird pole for social climbers.

1. Coat and hat hook, for eye nose and throat doctors.

2. Silent movie camera for artillery guys.

1. Egg whisk for expansive people. Either that, or a watch face remover for clocks.

I had thought grain auger, but the fins don't look very strong.

[Buddy Beavers]

I think they are tent poles, the bottom one looks like it has a metal point on it that would fit through a grommet. Either that or they are Cliff's anal WMD probes. Oh look, he broke one!

[George W Frost]

Oh shit !!

So, what is 29?

I'd love to see more pics of 28!

Someone from the UK had sent me this one, he had it for 15 years and couldn't find an answer, turns out that it's setup basket for a circular knitting machine. Scroll down at this link to see some of these machines:

I don't have any more photos of it, looks like this device is still a mystery for now.

>The item labeled as a setup basket has hooks opening outward and no lever to open or close it.

I wonder if 29 could be used to expand a knitted tube to lift it off a knitting machine without disengaging each of 30 or 40 loops. I don't know enough about knitting to know if that would work or if that would cause the knitting to unravel.
