These photos were all recently sent to me, the first three were submitted by people looking to identify the items, I've already posted them on my site sometime in the last six years so you can test your memory on them.
#32 is used to strip corn from the ears for canning or for those of us who can't bite it from the ear for one reason or another .
It does look like one but it was made for another purpose.
Correct
Generic sheet metal cutter, ancestor of the nibbler?
Thanks, Rich
It isn't for use on metal.

Thanks. I just now saw "wire stripper" by $OTHER_POSTER, and I wanna change my vote. ;-)
Cheers! Rich
Both incorrect
Yes, it's for holding candles but it's for a very particular use, the word 'overhead' could be considered correct but a more specific term would be better
Nope
Must not be any scandahoovians here!
How about on the head -- St. Lucys day.

Many years ago, I saw an article in Hustler Mag, about some little funnel-thing somebody was marketing to enable women to pee at a urinal; there was a pic (from behind) of some woman standing at a urinal using this little device.
I don't think it ever caught on. ;-)
Thanks! Rich

I only read Hustler for the pictures. :-) First, it would have to be used in the Men's room. No urinals in the Woman's room. Secondly, it would have to be washed afterwards, unless it is disposable. Lastly, unless it was a foldable paper funnel, where would it be kept between visits?
