Some part of a SONAR/sound collector or something from a radar system?
Some kind of wave collector/detector.

It is - good old fashioned waveguide (prior to SA / PA type).

Your turn

No shaZam!! I just made a wild guess on that one. Looked like something that was used to "gather something". What the heck is a waveguide used for?

This one was for microwave radio frequencies - although it is unsual in shape - most are either a tube or box section shape. the LNB at the narrowest part should have been the giveaway

Thought it would be obscure enough.. but a good guess 

lol.... you hit the jackpot Plisky! ... i was thinkin .. have to be like Granpa Schwarzenegger to use that bad boy as a Ear trumpet!! .. 

.. edit .. and a one image mini hijack .... this bloke had the right idea for his 'ear trumpets' .... imagine if you could sneak up to them and shout down the end!... it'd smash him!! 

lol.... pretty sure i know that!!... i'll hang back just a little... aint seen one for a while though... cool!! 

Oh come on lads!!..... It's been ages !! .... Guess already 

Hmm, cast construction, hinged thingy at top left. is it engine related?

Part of a Hot Wheels car?

cap gun
the kind that looks like a colt revolver and uses rolls of caps

Yup. it's a cap gun. Good guess, you're up. Janx guessed it right away (he pm'd me) but he wanted to see if anyone else could figure it out. He also wanted to pass to whoever got it next.

I didn't see it at first, but all of a sudden the clouds cleared and my vision focused

I'm tired of all these small things, this one is 5 feet tall

attic ladder?

My attic has stairs 

Some sort of form - like for making skis / snowboards?

plank straightener/curver ? ... like a form but planks not skis ... and if it is... do you have any of those nails for the left side of the boards? like this [----- ... all my nails face the other way like this ----] .. for the right side of the boards 

It is a form
not for skis or snowboards though
almost there
