Default What is it? CXVI

According to R.H. :
Four of the six have been answered correctly:







672. Cowboy fence mending tool


Intersting.

[ ... ]

674. This is usually found in the kitchen.

677. Similar devices were used by pharmacists, but the one in the photo
appears to have been made for home use either in the kitchen or cellar
(though not used for pharmacological purposes).


Hmm ... perhaps for squeezing sugar out of sugar cane? I note
that it is set up for three different sizes, with the largest closest to
the pivot, which makes sense, as you get more leverage to compress the
larger sizes.

Enjoy,
