Anybody have any idea what this might be? Might have been used for? The handle seems to be able to hook onto the metal rungs on the second piece of wood. There are several notches to adjust the length. The view that is shown appears to be the top and bottom. The opposite sides that I didn't photograph appear to be the inside and are plain wood.
Please let us know if you have a thought about this mysterious object.
I took more pictures to help you get a sense of what it really looks like and its size.
This is the inside.
As you can see, this is how the handle hooks into the metal rungs.
Torture device. Or S&M? Or farm implement, whatever.
ReplyDeleteStan Grose thinks it might be a botanist press.
ReplyDeleteMartin's first reaction was that it is a flower press.
