What is this thingy.................
The last picture shows how it extends when handles are squeezed.

Any ideas?

That was my first thought when I saw it but it doesn't open up.

It just stretches the top part when squeezed?

Look at the pictures again.

There's no opening and no where to take it apart

It just stretches/flexes.

My apologies Mon, I was just teasing you a little bit.

I would think you are supposed to squeeze the egg in when you stretch the spring but it seems (just like you guys seem to have guessed) like it doesn't open enough...is it possible that it is just in a bad shape (hence the small spaces)?

It looks like a whisk...maybe squeezing the handles repeatedly helps clean out the goop after whisking...

Whisk not a bad thought. Surely it does something!

I think it is a critical component of the Rockwell Turbo Encabulator. It looks suspiciously like the metapolar refractive pilphrometer.

I could also see it being dipped in some kind of glaze and then being moved back and forth over a cake as the glaze dripped off.

The closest thing i could find on Google Images was a whisk as mentioned before. Perhaps squeezing the handle gives it more whisk power.

That was my first thought as well. But as you said, no handle.

I hope you'll tell us what it is soon, Mon... if you know, that is!

My 12 year old is venturing a guess: some kind of musical instrument? (She's thinking you would strum the spring part with a metal rod or something, and change the pitch by squeezing the handles.)
