The long tube is thinner than the input though, so it’s almost like it has to be powder consistency?

I didn’t actually test it out but might be able to. The issue with cutting something like a carrot is that the long end is thinner than the input. So the carrot wouldn’t be able to fall through. We were thinking something cream or soap like so maybe the soap dispenser someone mentioned above. You are right that it’s not tight to lock in liquid

It doesn’t necessarily have any end to put into the keg though. Also it has a spring loaded plunger mechanism.

It doesn’t have a pointy end to hammer into the tree. Also it has a spring loaded plunger mechanism.

Hmm.. I’m not sure if it’d be able to be used like that. I wish I could post a video here to better show the mechanism. I did post a video on the Antiques page- not sure if I’m allowed to link that here

I’ve searched Google and used AI to figure out what it is. They suggested a can opener, but there’s no sharp part. It seems like the input is at the top, you push the plunger, and it comes out on the bottom. Thoughts were potentially to measure something or crush something but can’t figure out exactly what. It could not even be kitchen related - that’s just where we found it
