how about an egg warmer---incubator---transporter.
coals or embers in the end and a wrapped up egg in the center?

Have you tasted the yellow powder or at the very least, injected it into one of your chickens? Two things could happen, each equally revealing: 1) you/your chicken could instantly dehydrate and die, or 2) you/your chicken achieve a state of powerful elightenment that unravels all the world's mysteries, including why anyone would want to withdraw sulphur from a drive-through teller, steal the canister, then hide the contraband under a clump of chicken feces.

why can't it be a contraption somebody was fiddling with, and serves no real purpose?

That's called art and this is no art. There's some obvious utility to it.

If there was an obvious utility to it...wouldn't there be thousands of them laying around?

There are many patents that became failures. Maybe its a homeade one of a kind item that somebody was fiddling with but whoever made it spent a lot of time soldering it the old fashioned way and making it to these specifications. It seems to be a very well made item that is perfectly rounded and perfectly fitted with tight fitting caps and hasnt been used much. I agree its not art.

Its too bad there are no manufacturers markings.

Come to think of it, I'd check again for a manufacturer mark. It looks too high quality for someone not to take credit for it. Might shine a light down there.

I agree its quality made.

We cant google it because we dont know what it is.

Its a tool to castrate chickens or for other farm animals.

Are you guessing? Can you tell us how you know this? What are the end containers for? Is it a 2 man operation?

I hope you are correct but I dont think its sharp.

So a testicle for each cup? Male chickens don't have external sex organs. I never thought I'd say those words.

I thought he meant cut off the head but I just dont see it. I think Fisheye was just guessing.

Maybe a magicians trick. An egg is put in the canister and suddenly a chick comes out

I wonder if that could be a fence post bank? I have heard them mentioned several times but I don't think I have ever seen one. Nothing on google about them either, pictures anyway. I think there was a post with a newspaper ad about them but that was a long time ago.

Does it have to be chicken/egg related, just because it was found in a chicken coop? Couldn't it be a plumbers doo-dad or an electricians soldering paste holder?

Nope it sure don't, it could be from anywhere and for anything. I'm sure a lot of things wound up in chicken coops that had nothing to do with raising chickens.

Its a torture device for Al-Qaeda terrorists.They make em put a body part in the open tube and slowly turn the blade till they talk.More effective than waterboarding.

I've been known to be wrong before so don't lay money on it but I think it was for cutting cigar tips in the center section. It it is old, the ends were used for snuff and cocaine. (Before it was deemed illegal it was used in Coca-Cola.)

It would take 2 hands to turn it to cut the tip off the cigar.
