Do you know what this is?
I bought this a couple of years ago at a flea market in New York City. I thought the ridged bakelite handle was cute and was curious what it might be. The woman that was selling it thought it might be an old-time vegetable peeler. I just couldn't see that and told her I wondered if it might be a butter curler. Well, I bought it and still have no idea what it is.
Tonight I put it to the test. I was surprised to find that it performed better as a vegetable peeler than a butter curler, but I'm still not convinced that is it's true calling.
Any ideas?
A butter curler?
A vegetable peeler?

Hi Cathy,
Looks like an interesting gadget. Looks more like a vegetable peeler though (IMHO).
Reid - it's definitely a possibility, but I think I'll stick with my standard issue Ecko and Oxo peelers!
Alberto - a cake decorating tool had occurred to me also, but I hadn't considered a fish scaler. That's an interesting idea.
looks VERY similar to some of the fish de-scalers that i saw growing up!!
