‘I saw this in the op shop today and am trying to work out what it’s for because it looks a torture device hahaha. Anyone know?’ she wrote to Facebook group I Love To Op Shop.
Dozens of people were quick to comment, suggesting it could be a cigar cutter with others suggesting it could be a more risqué device like a sex toy.
However, others rightly revealed it was an egg cutter, which is used to chop the top off from hard boiled eggs.
‘I thought it might be for cutting the end off a cigar,’ said one.
‘It is a cigar end cutter,’ added another.
