Name that thingy

I found one while looking for something else along with 2 1qt. paper cans of Sears 10-30w oil! How many of you remember the paper cans?

Never seen one before, but guessed it was a funnel/spout of some sort.

I'm too young for this crowd

I have one of those spouts in my garage.

That reminded me of this

Hey....I DO know a mix tape....Just cause I've never seen an oil can, doesn't mean I ain't seen cassettes!

I've even used an 8 track player....at my grandparents.

Yeah, but do you know what the pencil is used for? Not for writing on the label.

Here's a whatsit. So what is it? I'll give you a hint, there are lots of them working together to do their job, and the magazine is a hint.

You use the pencil to wind the tape.

I had 3-4 of them. Once all the oil companies went to plastic I ended up throwing them away. Now I wonder if some may become "valuable" some day? Nah! Interesting maybe, but valuable I think not.

Did someone say mix tape?

Some sort of excavator or plow tine?

That is obviously a paperweight. Look at all the papers it's holding down!

I am guessing it is a "tooth" from some sort of excavating or drilling machine (possibly used in coal mining).

coal pulverizer

Rail road track, tie tool.

When I saw the picture of the spout, I thought, that is too easy. Seems it was.

I think I still have one somewhere.

Think I tried that, but the pencil didn't work that well....I think...Christ, trying to remember back 15+ years ago to a time when my memory is fragmented doesn't work very well.

I do know I usually just hit rewind :P

Most people (who are so inclined) name their OWN thingy, instead of asking others to do it for them!

Military term.

Most people who served in the Army call it that.
