Gadgetree

What sort of gadget is that?
A vintage game of spin the bottles?
Some kind of pill mixer?
Who invented this thing? and why?
What does it do?
What did it do?

Often as time goes by, the old and odd utilities of yesteryear disappear and become forgotten without description. The history of such items is lost along with the passing of people who commonly considered things of this kind useful in their everyday lives. Without the historical knowledge or origins, these lost, then discovered antiquities exist as curiosities while the unanswered questions remain. What sort of Gadgetree is that?

Enjoy!
Artfully Yours,
