Last week we showed you a picture of a two-handled gadget and asked you to identify it. Not too many correctly guessed its identity – it is an exercise machine made for building upper arms. Fortunately, exercise equipment has made some big advancements.
We randomly picked the winner from all the comments, and that lucky person is Rich from Purcellville, VA, who was one of the few who guessed correctly.
Next Tuesday, we will be giving away Craftsman Router Combo Kit. The kit includes a 9.5-amp, 1.75 hp fixed-base router with a portable worktable. The handy table has a smooth laminate surface that adjusts to various heights.
To enter the Craftsman Router giveaway, post a comment (click “comment” above) and tell us what this strange-looking tool (below) is used for and what profession uses it? You don’t have to answer correctly to win; we will randomly pick one winner from this post.
Have you been cleaning out grandma’s attic this winter? Not sure what to keep and what to throw out? Find out the telltale signs for identifying antiques and treasures, plus find advice and instructions on how to refinish them.

I can go with the cement stamp, too
i'm thinking cement stamp as well.
Is it a form for making bricks used by brick layers or masonry workers?
I can go with the one that said it is a mold for concret steping stones
masonry mold
I think this is a brick mold.
My guess is a concrete stamp.
I think this tools was used by masons to add a decorative edge to the grout
cookie cutter…mmmmmmmmmm
Wouldn't it be nice to make chocolate bars?
Cement stamping tool
It looks a little like a curry comb. I wish there was something to give a size reference.
I agree….size DOES make a difference….in determining what something could be that is…………
It is hard to guess how big it is, but I think of a dough cutting tool.
cement stamp
I think it is a mold used in plastics.
Cement stamp used by some people who totally need to fix me a new patio!
If it had a bottom I would guess cake pan but since it doesn't I would guess concrete form for stepping stones
A leather worker stamp
I'll go with Cement Stamp used by cement workers.
I'm gonna say this is a mold for making decorative stone/brick that masonry guys use
a fancy, bottomless baking pan
My guess is a cement form used by masons. Hope I'm right.
A mold for forming mason stepping stones
Some kind of concrete form.
i believe this ia cement form of some kind
concrete form used for stepping stones
Looks like it is made from forged steel so it would probably be heavy, but not knowing how big it is makes it hard to guess. So I'll go with ravioli stamper.
lasagna noodle cutter.
you got it!
really?? Were you Garfield in another life?? But it need a bottom. What a party pan!!! But its probably for cement :{
cement form
I Think its an Antique Grout Trowl for Tile
A form of some type. My guess would that it is used with cement. If not it would make a great quiche plate for the giant at the top of the beanstalk. Jack could have used the goose eggs to whip up a nice one. Everyone knows, real giants eat quiche.
HAA! That is great.

scraper to remove pant
I know that it is part of a chimney…before the cap maybe???…
a cement stamper used by masons
I feel it is some type of cement mold.
A cement mold used by masons
A lot of people seem to think it has to do with masons for cement, but I still think it's some kind of ductwork. Register, maybe.
I think you are correct, it is a cement stamper used by masons.
It's a tool to leave "brick" type impressions on wet cement .
I think its a cement mold too
I agree with you that it's some form of cement stamper or form used by masons.
I would say it would work to cut clay, which in turn would be fired and turned into tiles?
I am sorry but I think you are wrong. Look at the paint on the tool; if it was a cement stamp, there would not be paint on the tool.
It is a cake form for a bakery
what a cute picture frame hmmmmm
a cement form
It looks like a clamp of sort
