OK how about "What is it part three"
« on: October 03, 2007, 09:12:44 pm »
I had an original of this object years ago. A long hunter may have carried one. It contains a small quantity of this substance. I made this back in about 1975 or so. If you need more hints I can give them. It's only about 3 1/2 inchs long.

Sorry guys, went to bed early. Here is another photo. It carries something you can season with. You aught to get it now. The original had a cord from the screw cap to the tip. I put the extra hole in the cap.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

You got it Hillbilly. The original was found,not by me, at a flea market in Penn. When I got it I did not know what it was either. It was made from a cow horn tip. A chemist friend at GE analyzed it and said the interior was saturated with salt crystals. Kinda neat huh.
