It’s a toaster. You put the bread in between the racks and hold it over a fire.

Pick me, Monty!

It is a letter holder. The top does look like a pen holder. (I think that if it were a toaster for use in a fire, it would be blackened from use.)

This one of a kind device was patented by Virgil ‘Fingers’ Wentrock. Virgil came up with an idea while working as a caretaker at the National Aquarium, after being released from the hospital due to a work related accident.

Its a piranna feeder.

It looks a bit like a holder for envelopes. And the top bit that looks like a straw is where I think one would put a pen.

Well I was GOING to say an old-timey fireplace toaster, but it looks like everyone else is saying that too.

So instead, I’ll state for the record that it’s a banana.

I remember that from Reading Rainbow back in the day, Levar Burton used a similar toaster in one episode about colonial American toast and how it was ultimately responsible for winning the Revolutionary War, or something like that, I can’t really remember, I was only like 7.

It’s a rack for deep frying decks of playing cards, because you never know when you’ll need a deep fried deck of playing cards. This one is TOO easy.
