I think it is a recipe card holder.
Looks like some type of gate or door latch.
Antique temporary grave marker?
paper towel holder?
Definitely a cobbler or blacksmith tool. Looks like a stand to hold two different sized objects.
Shoe stretcher?
I'm guessing a counter balance for something. Looks like something used to be placed in the middle of it – with it's indention.
Shoe or boot horn
It's a headrest.. used in funeral homes, so they can fix the dead persons hair?
I think it is a men's antique tie presser. You would heat it over a warm fire and insert it into the open end of a man's tie. While it is still hot you would stand it up as shown in the pic. Just a SWAG.
It might be an clothes iron the coals go in the copper hopper and the flat copper underside is used to smooth the clothing
I think it is a small shovel on one end and a seed digger on the other end. A tool for the garden!
Gearshifter for a car
Part of a stirrup used in examine room at dr. Office.
A papertowel holder?
looks like an ART DECO door handle.
I'm going with Chris. Looks like it would sit by fireplace with boot drying on it.
a boot or shoe pull to help pull your shoe/boot on??
door handle
I think is something for a hair piece or a wig the copper is to soft to dig with.
I think it might be a too used for tanning and stretching hides! I notice there is a sort of
"Beading" around the top and sides.
something to put your shoes on while they dry?
bottom is a cinder smasher and top is a scoop for the ashes/cinders in the fireplace.
for holding leather,while tooling it
A cobbler's tool.
Cobblers stand.
It is a boot cobblers work station to nail leather tops to the Soles
looks like boot dryer!
It very much looks like a pendulum for a clock
It's for taking cowboy boots off?
A shoe stretcher.;-)
I think its a fake leg…….antique prosthetic!
A warmer for your bed. Heat it and put it between the blankets by your feet.
I’d say a shoe strecher
I agree with Micheal (above ) looks like a deco door handle.
It looks very old unless of course it is some kind of modern art piece, but being it is on a stand and looks to be an old object, maybe men used it to hang their powder wigs on….hmm
A door handle/lock
I think it is a pedulum for a clock
It looks somewhat like a shoe stretcher so I’m guessing it’s an anvil of some sort to nail shoes together on. Just a guess.
Looks like a door or gate handle.
I like it for a table lamp
I think it could either be a door handle or a cabinet handle……..
looks like it could be a toilet paper holder – maybe slide the roll between the two metal plates – would work if there’s a rod in there!
I like it for table lamp
It’s a Boot last so that cleaning the master’s boots was easier they would stand up straight
Looks like a railroad spike, not quite sure what the copper is for, maybe a washer or electro connecter.
I think I recognize a boot dryer. Stand the boot upside down over it.
It looks like a railroad spike with maybe a connecter for electro contact.
19th century reflex mallet. Cross your legs, doctor taps your knee just below the cap… OR 19th century tool used for general anesthesia. One konk on the head and you’re OUT!
Not sure what it is, but it looks like a nice one!
