What Is It?

By Uncle Hans

Aunt Kathy's favorite uncle, Eddie, recently passed away.  She, her Mom and her aunt have been cleaning out his house, finding untold treasures from the past.  Like many many silver dollars from the 1850's.  They also found this thing............

.....what the hell is it?..............

.....even with all that beer to help us, Neil doesn't know..............

.....here is a hint...........

......here is another hint................

.....Yep!  It's a hat-stretcher!  for storing your hat so it does not lose it's size or shape.......

.....here it is "opened".  By turning the knob, the thing expands to the right size and it holds the shape of the hat.....
