    Looks like a doohickey. Or a thingamabob. Or the control unit for a framistat-regulated governator.

                It may be the mythical "Round Tuit" ...

                        Not so mythical. I have had a round tuit. Just never found a place where I could cash it in.

                            I thought it was the 110 adaptor for an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics etching tool. Did you have any ancient Egyptians living in you neighbourhood?

                                No, but we did have a very old Cuban living next door, but she died a few years ago.

                                    Its one of those things that women plug into the wall that makes the room smell like gardenias to cover up the smell of our feet and the other things that we are accused of doing in the house that smells bad.

                                        Those little 'owl eyes' in the last photo almost look like they're LED's or some kind of light lens... could this be something as simple as a stylized night light?

                                        Or maybe just a two-prong outlet tester?

                                                You might be right. I haven't ruled out a plug in voltage cap. That's those
