        No it isn't a drawing tool, and neither a construction tool.
        Didn't think this would be that hard.

        The pin just indicates a certain position, that's all. When the pin would have been flat, it would have been more obviously

              I thought it could be a spirograph, but it's not a drawing tool...

                    Yes, finally! It's a book marker.
                    Today's collaboration with What is it? blog brings us this strange device: what is it for?Place your guess in the comment section - no prize this week, you're playing for bragging rights and fun only. For more clues, check out What is it? blog. Good luck! Update 5/30/08 - the answer is: An automatic bookmark, it's clipped onto the back cover of a book with the pin placed between the pages to mark your place, patent number D163572. Congratulations to Jim A. who got it right first!...



                    Well done Donaud!

                                It looks like an engraving tool.
