Hard to tell without something next to it so we can give it some scale. The foot rest looks like a good bet though. My 1st thought was a recipe holder.

I believe it is a foot rest for in front of a chair or sofa. I think you have it turned upside down in fist picture. It is kind of a balancing thing I believe. I have not seen one in over 20 years so forget how it works.

I think it's a dish rack for drying dishes.

Here's a good picture of one.

Thanks jlong, that is it. You must have had some clue...I would have NEVER guessed that it was a foot stool. I have seen many antiques,having been a dealer for many years, but nothing like this. I am still not sure exatcly how you are supposed to put your legs on it......lol! The picture on the site looks like it is leaning against a wall. Hmmmm
Thanks so much for the help!

My dad was a truck driver and picked up the odd finds and brought them home. He brought one of these home and we had great fun with it.
