Thingy - Huh?

[FaithBlack]

My mom bought this at a thrift store, & we can't figure out what it is. Do you have any ideas?



That's the top of it, then it's just a stick under it. It's made completely of wood. The rings around the middle move, & when you shake it, it sounds a tiny bit like a rattle, but we have no idea.

Update as of 12/4/09:
We think it's a Honey Dipper. What do you think?

Hmm...... Maracas? Belated happy birthday by the way.

Haha, thank you. Maybe, but it's not a very loud maraca if it is one. It's not filled with anything, it's solid, but the rings around it making a quiet rattle type sound when you shake it.

baby rattle.....?

A meat tenderizer, maybe? Hmm... Whatever it is, it's strange.

I'm curious about that as well... Maybe it's a sculpture?

It came in a bundle. In order to get something else in this bag that she wanted, she had to get this too, I guess.

That makes sence, although it does sound like the company didnt know what it was either

hmmmm you've got me there neutral

We figured out what it is! (We think)

While looking through a store that sells cooking-ware (pots, pans, measuring cups, etc) on Black Friday, we saw some Honey Dippers that looked similar, so that's what we think it is.

What do you think?
