Not even the first clue what this is...

I received it in a box of darkroom goodies I bought through craigslist and it says Vivitar on it.

Anyone know what this is?

Wow! That's a very rare Vivitar magic wand. If I remember right, you wave it over a print, and it'll increase sharpness significantly. Good find!

It's stirring paddle.

Sure looks like one of those suction-cup arrows they gave us as little kids so we wouldn't shoot somebody with a real pointed arrow! Medieval combat
with OSHA approval?

Stirring paddle. But I really really like the magic wand idea. Maybe i'll try waving it over a print and see if it helps. SOMETHING's gotta.

It is an overhanging dippleplunger. Noted by the little cup at one end. This distinguishes it from the plain dipple.

Ohhhh I get it now. This is the left-handed one. The cup is reversed on the right-one. It's just missing the little inverse flange wigdet on the transverse.

Use the flat end to crush powders.

Really, PE... do you have to talk dirty like that?

It is "Back to the Future" episode where they went into the future and realised what evil digital came out. They went back and made this Vivitar stick to destroy the Epson 4490P scanner and set you free for bright future with their "Vivitar Darkroom kit".

No, that would be the dorsal hangus longus sometimus erectus. I don't usually post that type of stuff. I felt that a correction was in order sir. Especially today!

Maybe a toilet plunger for elves?

PE... I'm surprised to learn that your such a potty-mouth. I'm impressed!!

I have the blue version.

It looks like a dinglehopper to me. Maybe because I've watched too many Disney movies. The Little Mermaid was one of my daughter's favorites.

C'mon guys, I know it's APUG, but you can call it what it really is. It is an Epson scanner.

But the dippleplunger on top could cause a short. I'd watch out for that.

It is a left handed doppleganger used to make Harvey Wallbangers.

enough jokes... it is a prototype of an alien craft from the planet zarcon.... may be occupied.

it's a lawn dart embryo. So sad it didn't make it.

Kawaiithulhu · Apr 2, 2016

It is a device used to stir things up. It worked very well here, for example

paul ron · Apr 3, 2016

mixing paddle.. is it magnetic?

bdial · Apr 3, 2016

Looks like a part of a turbo encabulator

Either that, or it's a mixing paddle.

Old-N-Feeble · Apr 3, 2016

Is it a proctologist tool?
