I once knew a “song” about these but I’d like to go on “record” by saying that I’d love to win this contest.

I have some of these, but not what they go on… Something about Mary’s little lamb…

Easy this time eh?
Although I really kind of wish people in the comments wouldn’t give hints…
Meh, still kinda cool.
Used to have a box of these, not sure where they are now…

Mike is right. It’s Mary’s little lamb chop tenderizer apparatus machine cylinder. Invented in 1774.

I agree with Jleemero! If Alan wanted to give a hint he would.
