Gotta unidentifiable thingamajig

[CoilyGirl]

My husband tilled up a new bed for tomatoes yesterday and dug this up. Anyone want to take a guess? Could be sumpin',could be nothin'. You see one end has a hollow space,the other end is exactly like that. Guessing at a size of five to six inches long

not sure about a thingamajig

But It's possibly a Hoochamajigger

Looks like it was connected to something else by pins


is it indented in the Back ?

 

[CoilyGirl]

Yes that's what I'm thinking too. I have a mop where the sponge connects like that. Let me check to see if there is an indention in the back.

 

[jeff of pa]

it looks very familiar

 

[CoilyGirl]

Okay here's the back and the length is more like 4 inches long and yes, indentions in the back. In the meantime gotta go weed!

I thought so. as I said It's familiar I just have to let my mind Perk on it,
at this point I wanna slip a Piece of paper in it like a Typewriter might have
but I don't think it's wide enough from what you said

In the meantime gotta go weed!

a Hoochamajigger is almost a Watchamacallit.
a Watchamacallit is when I know what it is But my mind isn't able to remember the word for it

I learned absolutely nothing in this thread, lol. I lived in Oklahoma a few years. Noodling IS catching catfish with your hands, lol. Not sure how you might weed while noodling

I keep coming back to that assumption also.

However she says size of five to six inches long ?
I Don't know any Vacuums that narrow

That is true Jeff now that you mention it.I do know that our house was built on a dairy farm.

 

[jeff of pa]

but unless it was a child's vacuum

even these are too wide if I remember right

It could also be the part inside one of those big mops with all the strings, like commercial grade janitorial equipment.
