Weird Ass Shift KNOB? The DEVIL has Come? VOODOO? Help??

From the design of the inlays, I'd say it's North African or arabic/persian.



if it's made out of steel and from africa, it has to be less than 150 years old, not too much steel in central or south africa. (they just did not know how to make it)

Morrocco? maybe?

it's freaking cool as hell though.

 

Be careful or you'll poke your eye out with it speed shiftin'.

 

Are those Speakers still in the shop???


Haaahh

I think you should dress a a Witch doctor and Roll up into the AutoRama
chasing people with the "Stick of Debauchery"!!!

haaa..

evel

 

I talked to my cousin, he's an anthropolgist. You have 24 hours, I'm sorry. You better go videotape some more donuts in your last hours.

 

I wouldnt cut it up until I find out what it is worth. You may have something quite valuable and you could sell it for enough to psy for a cool project. Or you can cut it up and suffer the wrath of Cthululu...

 

It's the world's first CRACK PIPE,
And you all have been HITTING...

I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't find out exactly what it is before I cut into it.

To me it looks like some Arts and Crafts era reproduction...
The brazing looks too good to be extremely old but just bad enough for an authentic decoration.

Call the BIRD-Brothers on that antiques show... They'll set you straight.

 

Aleister Crowley's old cane? Or perhap's Anton Levey? Stroll into a local Catholic church and slowly dip in the Holy water......will it boil? Another test or dare, place it under your bed! It's just a lump of metal, right? Pleased to MEET you, hope you guess mah name.........

 

I can see it now,

MFS III... Bob Bleed attends The Antique Road Show!!!

"Bob what we have here is an ancient Egyptian 'Pith Rod'. It was used in the sacred mummification process.

You can see here that your theory of blood stains have been ratified by our DNA test which matched it to King Tut. There is actually King Tuts blood on here Bob!!

This piece is worth millions of dollars to collectors all over the world, if you could put a price on such a unique item.

What the!?? Why is there a 9/16 nut brazed to the bottom of this? You made a shifter out of this, what is your problem young man? You have just ruined one of the most significant archeological pieces once thought to be lost. All inherant value is since lost"

Bob fails to convince the dumbfounded antique expert just how ****ing cool it looks as a shifter. The expert couldn't be anymore red hot, that is until Bob shows him the antique gothic church door pull that he put in his RPU.

From then on Bob's visit will be known around the antique world as 'Black Sunday', or the day the "Monsters Came Out".


Or it just may be some old ladies walking stick she made in a college night time art cl***, but I like the first version better. Could you just imagine the looks on their faces. HA!

Hey Bleedie....keep the cane, get a cape and creepers, and be the new "Screamin Jay Hawkins"!

 

I've been compared to Screamin Jay Hawkins a bunch of times.

Laura just showed up and she won't even touch it.


HaHa.


I really don't think it is a repop. If it is, it is super old. It doesn't look like any type of craft.


I've been around alot of anitque stuff and I can usually tell fakes.

Even the pole is crude.

I just want to drill it up and mount it, but now I've got homework........

 

Did some research..."Sarangerel describes the use of a staff by Buryat/****olian shamans. They were made of wood or iron with either a forked top or adorned with an animal head, most commonly a horse and, in some cases, a double head. The branched staff would sport ringing bells on a cord between each fork. The horses head commonly has a halter and reins in addition to the ringing bells. Furthermore, it is claimed that the staff pre-dates the drum as a tool for undertaking a shamanic journey."

In the Tsimshian society of North America, the shaman's staff is used by a curing shaman as representative of the spirit helper and was a visualization of the world axis that joins the upper world to the underworld.

No time to argue....Throw me the idol, I throw you the whip. Have you been chased by any Nazi's or huge boulders lately?

 

Whoa shaman.....Thanks. I keep searching myself, but have'nt found out much....

I loved shifting the Church lady. That was my favorite part on that RPU......

Tuck pissed off the Nazi's...

 

That thing is cool, it reminds me of those mermaids you see on the front of old pirate ships.

 

HAY BLEED-Spray some of that cool glowing BLUE **** from that show CSI Miami on it and jump back in horror![glows in response to blood]

a 4 ft. FUNCTIONING Graffix (I've seen one with the Cramps skull on it) Now that would sweeeeet

 

Man, my grandfather gave me a deck of cards that he said were from the 1700's. My local museum in Indy was able to carbon date the thing for me but they were able to tell me just by looking the whole story on the things before they even did the test. I'd try your museum. It's close and free. It's a neat piece though.

 

shove it up your *** you ***... see you tomorrow, I want that shifter CHEATER style

 

ya know i REFUSE to post in this thread because that thing is the work of the DEVIL!......oh **** looks like i am postin. That thing is ***S!

 

hahahahahahahahahahah Dude,,you're ****ed hahahahahahahahahahahah

 

hmmm

 

Nice find! You have to use it.
You'll be the GOTH king!
Hank von Helvete will be jealous.

 

why dont you make a casting of it and keep the original... you only need the top realy?!? it could be like that ball of **** that fell from a plane in that movie... and he caries it round thinkin it was an astroid!!!!!!????? just a thought...

 

That thing belongs to the "Cat-in-the-Hat" or the "Ginch" - you better give it back to 'em

 

But Bob, what on earth did you search for on ebay when you found it? Walkingsticks?

 

Thats pretty bad***!!! I say use it. If you start puking green **** on priest, let us know. Or videotape it.

 

I spend alot of time on ebay looking for wierd ****, that I can put on Hot Rods. I probably was looking for walking sticks....... Or Devils.......

 

I think I saw saw this episode of the Brady Bunch. All I can say is, don't take it back to the cave Greg.

 

Ok, this has been bugging me for a while, I keep wondering what the hell the thing is. Well, tonight, on Ripley's Beleive it or Not, they had a segment where Dean Cane held up the exact same staff.

They said the staff was owned by a famous warlock and dated to the 1600's. I guess it is a bust of "Pan", the horned god of Paganism....

So there you have it, That is what Ripley's said it was....

 

Holy ****, he's right...
