I found this while mowing a lady's lawn a while back (I asked, she didn't want it,) and I find myself entirely puzzled as to its purpose and intended function. The item was heavily rusted; I cleaned it up with a HCL dip and gave it a coat of oil. Shown with a US quarter for scale (quarter is 24.2mm in diameter, for those that might not be familiar with them.)

You did a fine job cleaning that up!
It appears to be an early Colonial melon baller.

At first I thought it was a left-handed henway, but then I saw that slot in the flat end, so obviously it's a dikfer.

Looks a lot like the legs on my old bathtub. They're cast iron and have the slot in the end like that where it bolts to the tub. They have a flat bottom, though. I can't see it holding up anything that heavy with not flat on the base. It would gouge the hell out of the floor.

Pole step seems likely, though I haven't been able to verify for certain.
Here is a newer version; 
In any case, this will likely be re-purposed for melting/molding metal (I like to melt stuff,) or as the world's most inefficient cornbread pan
ETA - Thanks to all who have participated. I'm still open to opinions and ideas, of course. |
