Help me ID this thing

[sbird1]

So I found this in a warehouse behind the shop I used to work at. My boss had no idea what it was or where it came from. The only markings on it say "regular", "A/T type", "45mm", and has a serial number on it (4047-16). Here are some pics:







So it has grip at the base and seems to be aluminium. I just use it in case of burglary or just to beat someone's head in, but what was its original use? Sorry the pictures are mirrored. My computer camera does that...

the result of steve urkel and screech powers having a baby. oh, the metal thing? it's a dildo for masochists.

ZING!!!

[King Ranzo]

Maybe some sort of transmission tool?

That's what the A/T part seems to point to.

something for a percussion instrument? like a drump stick type thing

Well, I was ganna be mature and woulda guessed a part of a MT shifter or part of an old strange European AT part that those dam Germans engineer.

But, since Im not mature enough, that totally looks like a fun friday night with a painful saturday morning.

It looks like a male, mid to late 20s in desperate need of a haircut.

[sbird1]

Ha! I'm 24...

Does that count as "mid"?

[themadscientist]

Certainly. I wish I still qualified. Next year is the big 4-0 for me.

[sbird1]

What's up, old man? So uhh... no one knows, huh? Someone out there has to have seen one of these things before...

[Dattebayo]

It's a steampunk sheleighly or possibly a fibula from the T-800.

[frapjap]

Its a pound-o-meter. A precision adjustment tool.

You guys think I need a haircut now? My hair is short now. Here is me before prom:



Back on topic, Dave's idea of a steampunk shillelagh is winning in my mind.

[sbird1]

We ditched our dates. Neither one of us wanted to be there...

Well, you see, when I was in high school, I was in the "God Squad" and a bit of a tool. That picture was actually taken at church where we went after (maybe before?) prom. There was no alcohol, sex, or anything that normal people do at their proms.

[BadaBing7189]

lol golden thread and idk looks like grandma droped her toy? thats the only guess i can take at it....

[sbird1]

Well, it doesn't matter what it is anymore. I went to Road Atlanta for Petit Le Mans last weekend and stuck "the thing" in my bag. Long story short, someone stole my f*** bag, so I no longer own this magnificent tool.

[4cefed]

You could start searching other car forums for threads titled: "Help me ID this thing" and maybe you can find the deviant that stole it.

[themadscientist]

Or a date for the prom.
