Strange item

I found it in the midst of a large ammo collection in Allentown, Pennsylvania. I don't think it is ammo related, but who knows. It says "Brothers Inc.NY, Made in USA" and "Stratford", somebody erased brothers' name. Brothers' name seems to have 4 letters, the 1st letter is definitely "S", the rest I am guessing to be "Sims" or Salz". Nothing written on the item itself. What is it?

Well, if Rick isn't kidding:nurse: as to what it's use is, I guess it could be a projectile of a sort. I'd say that the lanyard would DEFINITELY be a required item. I'd hate to see that get "lost":damnmate:
 
The "cinch" ring is a dead giveaway that this is the INSERTER MK1*. The MK2 was larger diameter which required a pull chain spot welded in place.
 
There's no "end" to the knowledge this forum has...:wink:

By the way, oww...
 
Knowledge evidently covers both "ends". It's called an Innuendo, it's an Italian Suppository.
 
When I worked sterilizing medical instruments we called this "The Bullet" so it's related, get a few
Hemorrhoids and you will find out --- Just don't look when the Dr aske's for a Q Tip -- It's not what you think
and if you come out feeling like you've been muzzle loaded and swabbed - well you just were ~ :tinysmile_cry_t2:
 
Add a saw, pinchers and some leeches and you would have a medical kit any Medieval barber would be proud to own.
 
I was actually thinking of a cigar hole punch, before Rick got me on that "ass-backwards" type of thinking:tinysmile_shy_t:
 
A Dull Key hole saw with some missing teeth ~ :xd:

I've seen heavy Orthopaedic instruments come back all bent to hell-
the poor patient , one wonders how they felt when they woke up after that,
one could hear the hammering down the hall ~ Happy Hip replacements everyone -----
If it goes badly, it's a redo called a revision, you don't even want to think of that -
Towers of equipment and instruments, chisels and a cement removal kit.
 
Have a friend who just went through a "revision" hip replacement because the cobalt ball was eroding the cobalt socket, giving him a higher than normal "cobalt" blood level. It seems they misplaced him an failed to inform him of the "recall".
