Yep. My mama had one of those too. I used them to sprinkle and roll the clothes to be ironed, put them in a basket and she would take them out and iron. The rolling created a slightly damp garment and they ironed real smooth.

Of course, Nosey over here had to come and check it out.
Those are sprinklers for ironing clothing. It went in a Coke bottle that was filled with water. I recall using them as a child of about 8 or 9 at Grandma's when I was helping with the ironing.
Thanks for the memory, Grandma Ruth has been gone a long time; I sure miss her.
