    The evidence is there.

    It sorts.
    It counts.
    It sorts manufactured articles.
    It is hand operated.
    It is at least 120 years old.

    Think. Ask questions.

    made me think of the list in a scanner darkly

    you fly
    become invisible
    your car disappears
    you are able to understand the speech of animals

    anything to do with drugs?

    Like a pill counter? That is a very good idea. Nope. However, you're on track.

    Does it sort needles or pins and put them into a little box?

    or coins perhaps?

    It looks like the inside of the "spout" is threaded so does a tube or something screw in there? Also, the painted base suggests that it is not heated from the bottom - is that right?

    Is the handle used for swinging the contents around your head thereby using centrifugal force to separate them?

    are you sure you don't mean centripetal? :wink:
