“I picked this up at a flea market in Winnipeg,” says Dale Wrixon of La Salle, Man. “It’s made of steel and measures six inches in length when compressed and 10.5 inches when extended. The only markings indicate it was made by the W-W Co. in Brooklyn, N.Y. I look forward to finding out what it is!”

What do you think? Can you help Dale solve this mystery?
