While cleaning out the garage, we came across something we can't identify. Maybe it's part of something we bought in the past, or maybe it was left by the previous owner. Any ideas what it is? It seems intended to connect two hoses/pipes of different diameter, but has a dial and screw adjustment for fine tuning. I was thinking it might be part of a dust collection setup, but the dial for fine adjustment doesn't support that.

FWIW, I can’t see them on my iPad, either.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I can’t see those images with my eyes.

Maybe it's something only CF can see with his super powers?

Okay, so there's a problem with the way I loaded the images. They're hosted on dropbox, and that might be the problem.
Still, that shouldn't prevent you from making an educated guess at what it is! (Jeez!)

It’s a calibrated snorkelator (in German: “kalibrated Snörkelator”). You can get some very precise snorkelating done with that baby.

It's a router fence.

Ahah! I have a router.
I'll keep it.
Or throw the router and it out.

Well that was fun.
Maybe we should all dig through our stuff and submit strange objects for the rest of DOOM to ponder. I'm sure we all have buckets of strange objects.
Now where did I store my snorkelator?

A snorkelator would have been very much appreciated wading into that foul garage....
