What is it?

can you tell me what this is about 3 ft long the one that has no holes looks same on both sides.

 

Kinda looks like a bellows but if not that...then for squeezing something...fruit maybe?
~
It looks quite familiar too...
To make cider or squeeze oranges?

 

I thought the same but no holes on sides where bellows would have been. I thought a juice press but couldnt find one like it?

 

I've been googling fruit press also.....but as for you nothing like it appears. Here's hoping someone will know. It's very interesting. I love old wood.

 

I even thought maybe berry press nothing

 

Cheese Press?

 

Hot coal carrier?

 

Wood?

 

Actually, yes. From the kitchen hearth to the bedroom(s), when not everyone had metal.

 

Surely there would be burns...no?

 

Well, certainly one would expect some scorch marks.

'Twas merely a suggestion...

 

Ah!
And dribbling sparkies.... Ummmmmmmm no.

 

I think the nearest suggestion is for pressing curds to remove the whey in home cheesemaking. People made up tools out of what was handty which was mainly wood.

 

I'd think either cheese or butter press to get the whey out.

 

Indeed! Whey not! Much butter answer than mine.

 

You're laying it on pretty thick, Silver.

 

Whey out like....man/dude.

 

"I Do like a bit of butter to my bread!"

Oops! Forgot to put in the quotes.

 

thank you all
