Time for another game of "Wotzit?"

[Ken C]

I agree if I would have bought that at a fisherman/nautical themed store I would have not been able to guess it. I would have been saying fish scooper
post more Wotzit some day, they are fun. Take care.

it's commonly called a grain scoop (or feed scoop).
the company I work for still makes them out of steel.

ah, but the wooden ones have so much character!

This one has a basic shape, but is crude. Sort of made out of what scraps were lying around. The sides have a purposeful shape on the scoop end, but the rest is unsymetrical. It almost looks hand fitted for what bit they had, rather than shaping the bits to fit in a specific spot.

Its almost like the feel of driftwood. smooth, but no consistency. It weighs a ton too. I suspect its old maple.

I picked it up as a teen-ager on Puluwat in the Carolines, about 60 years ago - Ron Mayo

No. it's carved from a coconut palm trunk. It scoops dried chunks of coconut meat. It is in an area with very few fiberglass travel trailers. - Ron Mayo

I went to a "Nostalgia Show on Sunday, with over 165 dealers showing vintage remorabilia, and one dealer had a scoop on display. He was asking $70.00. I thought that that was a bit much as it wasn't in very good condition.
