Whatizit?

By Uncle Hans

Not another "Whatizit?"   Yep.  One is a TV remote for size comparison.  The other?  Whatizit?

.....if you follow this blog, you may have heard the story of our woodworking Grandmother Florence.....

....in 1948 my grandparents decided to build a new house.  the site they selected on the farm was just perfect, except for the majestic old Walnut tree that stood in the way........

......So, they cut it down.  But it was not wasted.  By the time they moved in, (like around the time their first grandchild was born, named Robert Allen) the wood had been to a saw mill, been through the kiln, and was in storage ....

......Florence had a woodworking hobby.  she set out to make all her kids, grand kids and some great-grandkids something from the tree.  Like a "Family Tree".  Some lucky ones got several pieces.  I got a chessboard.  My Dad got a gun rack (now hanging in my living room). 

 

 

......but, I digress.
Can you guess whatizit? yet.

...........this picture is to throw you off the track.............

......this picture has the only clue.  The drilled holes.  Rex may remember his Chinese Checkers board, with all the drilled holes.  They were for marbles.  But these are not..........

.....OK.  Here is the answer.......

.....Or is it the answer? Everyone's guess is still alive until we get the real answer.  From Mom.  I don't know the answer.  Renee and I make this guess, but only Mom knows the answer.  I hope this blog gets to her and that she will tell us.  Also, who does this little gizmo belong to?.......

....I don't know where it came from or who owns it, but I know where it is going.  In this shadow box outside Mom's room at Parkside Village for all to see!  Rex will update us on the answers when we get them.................
