I have kept fish since I was a teenager. My sons also took up on hobby. I have a 30 gallon and a 20 that I use as a "quarantine"tank for  the outside koi.

So I guess that means I'm up.

 

I don't have much expectation of stumping anybody at all because as you are all well aware Trina and I ask you what our "found items"  are on a regular basis.

:lol:

 

So I'm going to present to you a little trinket that has been used by four or five generations of my family during a particular harvest time.

You're both headed the right general direction but not quite there.

 

Fruit. Yes. But not cranberries.

 

You don't pick up the fruit with them.

I've seen several different people in families in my area using a paring knife and just cutting in a circle.

 

My mother's mother's family is where this particular huller came from.

That’s either for strawberries or potatoes is my guess. 

 

I’d hope they aren’t used on grapes, I’d feel sorry for the vines
