There are so many punchlines in this!

One of which is that I might be helpful with anything kitchen-related.

I also did some weird google searching. Came up with nothing.

Does it have a brand name on it anywhere? That might help narrow it down.

Another idea. It's for draining the liquid from cans of tuna. Everyone should have one.

 

[JP4CY]

Maybe it's used for canning? Like grabbing a jar out of boiling water, or putting a lid on?

This guy would know, if he's out of the pokey.

I'm going with hard boiled egg grabber.

I was gonna say hard boiled egg shell remover

Nope - those look like iron ore pincers (I may have canned some fruits & jams back in the day...).

it has to be this. right?

 

[dahliaclone]

I think the tunafish strainer is the winner

My first thought was, "Old, that's not old, it's plastic."

Reminds me of a life truism. Anything you remember getting is not old. Cleaning out our Father's things we'd ask what some 'old' thing was and he'd immediately reply, "That's not old, I remember when I got that."

Still - I have no idea what that is.
