erbilabuc Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 erbilabuc, wasn't trying to bust your balls, I realy was impressed with your initial answer. Frankly I find it interresting that people who share a common interrest (banshees) can have such drastically different other interrests. Guess thats what makes the world go around. If we all liked the same shit this would be a boring place. Scientific and green revolutions - younger members take note when you've got some history homework. Dunedemon. I wasnt mad at all, just wanted to clear it up:).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyman Posted January 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I just got some more pics from the guy who listed it and I think erbilabuc is the closest so far. I'm almost totally convinced that it is a champagne bottle cork installer and then the foil is pushed over the top of the cork with the spring actuated fingers on all sides. What do you think!?!?!?

erbilabuc Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Well back in the 1500ish time era, the wine bottles had long necks (french did at least). There was no such thing as a "bottle opener" back then and they did actually use wood dollies to seal the bottles. Way it works is the dolly is slammed into the bottle, wine soaks it up and therefore the wood expands making it a tight seal. Only way to get the bottles open was to break the ends, Im guessing this is a bottle opener and a cork all in one package deal. Seems somewhat french because Im pretty damn sure Northern Europeans of that time were too busy with the Reformations to think about wine. This is the same time the "protestants" and "lutherans" came about. By the way; in the Vietnam war MIlitary aircraft mechanics would use wooden dollies also to plug up bullet holes in the transmissions of helicopters and cargo planes. It was the same thing, wood goes in, fluid soaks in and then the wood expands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbilabuc Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Oh and if I am right about the time period then this thing might be worth more then 18$. Back then you were either poor and homeless, a laborer (smith,iron person), or super filthy rich. There was no middle , in between or what ever, you were either rich or poor so Im gonna add that someone pretty important most of owned it. Of course I could be totally wrong and it could be a toilet plunger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtclod20 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 *You very well think I have my head in the clouds, but dildo's have been around for centuries. Much longer then anyone would ever think. Ancient Hyroglyphics(?) prove that Egyptians were the first to experiment with dildo's. Greeks and and later in the Renissance era they became even more popular with the ladies and actually the men. My educated stab at this would be some sort of dildo from yesteryear. Maybe if I could examine it better, I might persuade my thoughts otherwise. I SAY DILDO and i'm sticking to it. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to the whole dildo thing, the biggest military superpower of the Americas has been the Indians of Mexico (Incas and Mayas). Did you know that when they won a battle they celebrated by giving each other alcohol enemas? Not rubbing alcohol, but like drinking alcohol.
