    OK, For Christmas, my aunt gave my mom this "thing". My aunt got it from her friend.
    The person her friend got it from says the "Thing" is an egg sizer.
    So I tried it out with some eggs, and the holes hardly vary in size at all!
    Yes, even if it is an egg sizer, the holes are not in any particular order. [​IMG]
    And the "thing" is homemade, so that's probably why they vary in size a little.
    Could it be an egg candler?? Something else?? And it does have 12 holes, that's why I think it has something to do with eggs.
    Here's a pic -

    There we are.
    The apx. measurements are - 16''x5''
    I hope you can tell me what this is, and I would greatly appreciate it.

    Joe,

    It's a board with holes drilled in it.



















    Sorry, I couldn't resist. [​IMG]

    I don't know what it is but I think it is really cool looking. I think it would be pretty in the middle of the dinning room table with pillar candles in each hole. I love things like that.

    Could it be a rack to store eggs in?

    Is that a hook on top? Is it supposed to hang off the wall?

    My husband and I are from wine country in the Finger Lakes of NY. Since we really can't see the respective size of the board of holes, we think it may be a rittling (sp?) rack used for storing Champagne. Champagne in the bottle has to be stored upside-down. Have a great day. [​IMG]
