Looks like a corn cob holder found in outhouses. Corn cob used instead of toilet paper or non glossy catalog paper.

Paint rollers?

Zen garden lawn rollers for mice?

squirrel feeders

Texture rollers for walls and ceilings.

Dip the corn cob in kerosene, light on fire. Use the lit corn cob to light fires, such as the kindling in the wood fired kitchen range, or the pot bellied living room stove.

Nope, can't be either of my two thoughts, appears the wire is stuck through the center of the cob, then wound the wire.

[JimN]

is the cob an insulator that you use as a handle to pick up something hot with the wire?

[Dusty B]

Will give you another 24 hours! One close guess!

[Cubfriend]

Wall paper rollers.

Very useful tool to lower pigeon eggs into hot water when hard boiling them.

Very useful tool to lower pigeon eggs into hot water when hard boiling them.

Good thought!
Or dipping in due to color Easter eggs.

You guys are all wrong...........it's a handle that you use to pull on something..........anything with. Fasten the loop to anything you need to pull on. Beats the 5.99 special at your local hardware store any day! Also doubles as the poor mans shovel handle if you remove the wire! Triples its use as a perch for your pet bird. Polly can get a two for one deal, eat the corn as a snack, and have a perch too. Well, she might need to be a parakeet to fit on those, but the principle is the same with any bird!
