Anyone Know What this Is?

[Ralph Robbins]

The person who found it has no clue what it was used for.

Stovetop broiler. Used over a woodstove eye.

There goes my guess of a cantelope squeezer.

Is that a "for sure" or a "maybe" Doug? Not disagreeing with you, but I've never seen a broiler like that and with nothing for scale I can't tell if it's the size of a lemon or a dinner plate. Looks more like some kind of strainer or squeezer to me.

There goes my guess of a cantelope squeezer.

Or my guess of a giant garlic press.
