well both guesses were right -- from the auction page-
"An indispensable tool fits in your hand comfortably

makes giving yourself a manicure easy and neat

might work for decorating cake icing too"

I think it is for painting your toe nails to keep the from touching each other.lol

I so do not need this gadget but if I ever run acros one for free I might keep all its alternative uses in mind especially the one to measure spagheti and aid to ducks in need of artificial feet.

How about putting your fingers in the "grooves", your thumb in the round hole and painting your nails? Or, like one of you said, maybe it is a foot for a lame duck.
If anyone knows, please tell us.


Your memory bank is FINE!!
that is exactly what it is for. There were tons of them around at one time but some people found them akward to use.

Well, even if you don't find out what it is really for, now you have all these other ideas you can use. I like the duck foot suggestion-you could make a bear paw/duck foot/log cabin quilt!

You put your thumb through the bottom hole and your fingers over the top in the dips, and you use it to paint your fingernails. I use to have one, brought back memories.

When I first saw it I was thinking Tupperware's version of brace knuckles.
