Mystery Object

It's a mystery object. Does anyone know what this metal object was used for? The top right has a loop that hooks onto bottom. The item is about eight inches long when hinged at the left.

It was found at a farm in Saskatchewan.

Do you know? Please comment at the bottom of this blog entry if you can help identify it.

Cut Knife Centennial Countdown

The countdown has begun to the Cut Knife Centennial Celebration. June 30th and July 1st. Mark your calendars. Get involved. 

The museum is researching the retail history of the main street and will have signage up for the Celebration along the street. 
There will be a two day open house at the museum where there will be a quilt show (old and new) and a photography artwork exhibit of Cut Knife. 

Want a copy of the first Cut Knife History book (out of print and very hard to find)? A silent auction for several copies will be held to raise money. 

Come also for the ongoing picture show of photos from our Archives. This will run all day, every day so you can drop in when it is convenient for you to watch. There is nothing like a photo to bring back memories!
