Found this last week. I have no idea what it is. Clearly carved by someone maybe as a joke? There is a small pocket like piece attached. The bottom reads:
"A DATE WITH ME"
No clue what this means, what this is or who it is. But I know sometimes we can come up with some creative ideas. My guess: a key holder that hangs near the door.
fascinating. I bet it had some type of calendar, maybe a day to day calendar. Maybe the phrase "a date with me" was a play on words?
the man in the image is lighting a pipe so my guess is it is a match safe / holder.
Is it burnt into the wood it seems to have that look
thank you geo, zowie, blunder, kerry, trgrubaugh, petey, nutsabotas, mikelv, racer, inky, vetraio, and aghcollect. I think bootson has the right answer.
It does sound as if that would be pretty to the point & make sense looking at it like that.
Seriously strange right id? Anyway, I like little puzzles like this.
