It is a bedding or a sheet warmer. It was kept in a container that would be placed in the fireplace. When it was warm it would be passed over the sheets and under the blankets to warm the sheets on cold nights.

I, for one, applaud your attempts to make this site more than it already is. Some things may not be "interesting" to one, however are to another. Keep up the great work. I look forward to there always being something new here for me to catch.

The kinks will work themselves out and you will find the path that you wish to take. It is your site after all, we are just visitors here. :)

I love seeing these things, I just wish there were pictures. If anyone can find a link that contains some, please post them.
