    yes the guys in 1820 used those pristine clear plastic clips to attach the tool to the display.
  3. Cajun Sensation I'm kind of a big deal

    I really want to guess this one right so I can post a picture. Normally I'd post a shoe string or a light bulb b/c I have no idea where to find these things that y'all come up with, but I have one in mind now.

    post a picture, nobody cares about the procedure. i guess em all the time and never post a picture.

    Let someone guess that this thing is a foreskin remover and then I'll go.

    Hemorrhoid remover ? :eek:

    It was used for a common procedure during that time frame. this one is thought to have been used on both humans and animals.

    It's a "Rocky Mountain Oyster" trap (i.e. an instrument used to remove testicles).
  9. KyleK See you at the Box!

    That was my next guess. However, we used to just use a pocket knife. I knew a dude who used his teeth.

    Man... mention medical and we immediately get hemorrhoids, foreskins, and castration. Think a little outside the britches. They used this to perform a medical procedure that was thought to be a treatment for a host of ailments.
