      Looks like a porch-post foot. You're holding it upside-down. It's fastened on the bottom of a wooden post which would otherwise rest on stone or concrete and absorb water every time it rained. It allows a small space for air flow and drying and helps prevent the bottom of the post from rotting.

      I'll go with whatever UncleRon said ! Resting hot soldering irons on ?

      Why, thank you, bb2! Actually, I see them frequently at farm sales around here. Newer ones are made of aluminum.

      Have you considered a saw set "spider" for checking the set of a two man crosscut saw . Does it rock just a little?
