Well crap! ANOTHER WTF IZZAT??

[Thumper]

Have a sale Fri-Sat put on by the same company I've worked for a few times, so I have a good relationship with them. They have a bunch of old fishing crap as well as some firearms. One thing caught my eye, but I have no clue what it is. Looks like some sort of "sticker thingy". :huh

Is that an old Fox 20 ga?

I have no idea about the sticker. Looks ominous.

Are those sawed off guns law enforcement or military guns? Or is this mafia family?

It looks like a device used for aerating humans... quickly.

[Thumper]

All I know is ... I think it's a "must have" for a certain individual in North Carolina! ;)

[Thumper]

Is everyone else seeing it as I'm seeing it? When I first saw it, I thought it had a knife blade, but when I looked closer, it looks like a pointed "cone" shaped thingy ... which would make BIG holes. What do youse dufes see?

[LJ3]

Could be a de-constipator for prisoners. You know, help get things moving along if they're not getting enough roughage in their diets.

I guess you don't know what a bulb planter looks like, non of you every plant tulip or daffodil bulbs ?

[Thumper]

I got's one like this in the shed, although I don't ever remember using it! ;)

[LJ3]

Hmmmm, JB could be right. I think the fact that it was piled in with the guns made me think it was an offensive type device.

[Thumper]

I assumed the same thing and possibly the people putting on the sale did too. That said, I've never seen a bulb planter like that .... I thought Bubba was just being a smart-ass! :D

[Thumper]

Ha ha! Bingo! Jerry's right. (must be a Yankee thing) ;)

I found a few similar planters on the net.

Some bulbs are thinly shaped (tubers) and that tool would work well. It wouldn't be worth a shit in Virginia soil without a tannerite attachment.

I also see an old Benjamin Sheridan in there.

[Big Muddy]

Yep, my wife's dad made her one of those thingys for planting stuff in the yard.

[Thumper]

Found another pic that's closer. I texted the estate sale people and sent them a link. I'm assuming they also thought it was some sinister type of weapon. Mystery solved. Who'da thunk it?

I was gonna say 'neck massager'.

[Thumper]

I was figuring it was some masochistic punk-rocker, Goth chick's dildo. :hair

[Bwana]

Interesting looking double barrel...hmmm.

[Captain]

If it was a single trigger it would be VERY interesting

[Thumper]

Heck Cappy, I'll grind one'a those triggers off. How much is it worth to ya'?

[HideHunter]

I also see an old Benjamin Sheridan in there.

and two vintage lever bb guns.. Love to have all three. Like Cap always says... those freaking sales would cost me a fortune.. and I'd need a bigger shed.

[Thumper]

As a side note: When I called the people the other day to let them know what that "bulb planter thingy" is, they told me there's a walking cane gun in that pile and they thought it was some sort of handle for that cane ... but couldn't figure out how it would attach. So, that's why it ended up in the gun pile. (I assume that's the cane hidden under the shotgun.)

[BarryBobPosthole]

I always wanted a Bat Masterson cane.
