Alright, I know this is a bottle forum, but here is an item I have had for several years now, and I have never found anyone that could tell me exactly what this item is. It measures roughly 6 3/8" in length, strainer measures a little over 2 inches in diameter across the top, and swings on two pins. The bottom looks to be sort of a pot roughly a half inch deep. The bottom of it is incised PATENTED MAR. 1, 1910. Neat vintage item, but I have no idea as to what it was used for.
