It's cast, open on the bottom, has a rectangular groove for sliding something into and three holes in the groove. It's somewhat heavy. There's also a flange at the bottom.</p><p>Obviously it has been used as anvil/cutting surface, but what is its original purpose? If it's a T-40 tractor part, I don't know where it goes on that.</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Mystery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mystery</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/WhatIsThis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIsThis</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Wotsit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wotsit</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Identification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Identification</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/WhatIsThisThing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatIsThisThing</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/WhatsThisThing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WhatsThisThing</span></a></p>

Kernel Bob<p>Okay, my tooters, what is this?</p><p>I found this snowman on a free coloring pages site. All the lines make sense to me except for that oval at the lower left corner.

Windell Oskay<p>Electronics mystery: What is this device? I've had this for at least 10 years, and I don't know what it is or what it does. </p><p>The front-facing PCB has two opto-elements in clear T 1 3/4 packages, which appear to face through lenses that go on the front. The plate with the lenses also has a red LED. There's a dark gray cover that goes in front of the lenses.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/namethatware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>namethatware</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/whatisthisthing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>whatisthisthing</span></a></p>
