Miniature pillory or wooden antique tool? Can you tell us what this item is?

Hello from Hazard!

We haven’t heard anything else on Item No. 1140. We had someone guess a fuel tank and another guess an ice cream maker.
The item was submitted by Wayne Cooper, of Fombell, Pennsylvania.

We’ll move to Item No. 1141. Joe Kiss, of Marysville, Ohio, submitted the item. He says it is a wooden piece and is 8 inches tall and 8 3/8 inches wide with tapered ends. The two holes are spring loaded.
