    I picked this up at a junkstore. It is a semi circle with wood slats, slightly worn with faded red paint. 11" high and 19" wide. What is it?!

      What part of the country?
    2. Celiene Celiene, 3 years ago
      Maybe a kind of sizer? It looks like it rocks back and forth - or the side bits added on at an angle fits it into a machine and you put in apricots or something and the smaller ones fall through the slates?

      I found it in Grand Haven Michigan

      Well, that's right on Lake MI. But it doesn't look like it's been waterlogged - so it's probably not for an aquaculture. There are a lot of Blueberry farms there.

      I'm thinking it may be some kind of feeder? Lambs or something would access the feed from below thru the slats?

      Goat hay feeders are wood, and they feed via slats. But they aren't shaped like this. I keep thinking hay feeder of some sort. Maybe someone tried a new style?

      Are the added-on pieces on both sides? Can you add 2 more pics - one of the other side and one looking into it from above, please?

      I bet it's a DIY hay feeder for small animals!! (You don't say what size it is.)

      A little bigger then a bread box....flat on other side and pain is completely wore off on flat side.

      I'm gonna go with hay feeder for a small animal. You put hay in it, and put the open part against a wall, slats out. I bet it was for rabbits.

      See how the right side add-on block is nibbled at? (In the left picture.)

      Is there a way to look at previous post without starting with most current every time? Maybe
      Entering a range? Or some search? Thanks
