Wotzdisden

[DocBrown]

A long handled finnishing nail / tack nail hammer with a nail / tack remover on the side of the head. :huh:

 

[mickey megabyte]

jfar, i'm astounded that they don't what it is yet.

maybe you should give them some clues?

 

[boohbah]

is it a toffee hammer for big folk

 

[johnwillyums]

Is that forked thing for removing nails or tacks?

Ah. I see Doc got there before me with that

 

[SledgeDG]

Looks to me like a device they used in the Alps to harvest



(Seeing how "Wotzdisden" equals phonetically the Bavarian question "What's that" to almost 100%:roflmao::roflmao:
-DG

 

[jfar]

No lads, it doesn't remove tacks, and it is not for climbing, and it ain't for golf.
and I know Mickey I can't understand why they haven't gotten it yet either especially as there are two pictures of the thing in front of them

Doc that is good, explain a bit further what it does?

 

[DocBrown]

Seems to me, I seen my grandmother or Great-grandmother use someting like that to install curtain rods & curtains over windows in their house. But, I was just a wee lad back then

 

[jfar]

Irish snooker cue

 

[boohbah]

thinking logically it looks like you would put a nail in the forked bit thump it in then use the hammer bit to finish the job,obviously a hammer for folk who dont have a stepladder

No, but a good guess, keep up the good work and keep thinking.
no matter how painful it gets.

 

[johnwillyums]

Some other weird Irish game then. Is the head used to strike something? Does it unscrew in the middle for carrying around?

Horahhhh, And yes we have a winner , Well Done, yes it is exactly as you described it Boohbah, lets say a posse would use them for putting up the wanted posters
up high so they wouldn't be pulled down.

The top held the tack/nail and the side piece held the poster/ leaflet.
So well Done Boohbah,

And well done to all the other people who gave it a try,

 

[johnwillyums]

Nice one boohbah

 

[DocBrown]

But what is the actual name of it ?


"Hang em High"

 

[jfar]

"Hang em High"

Something like that Doc,

Here's a nice easy one for y'all.
