What in the heck is this?
 

Got a strange gift. I don't have any idea what it is for.

It's a dollar bill...go on a WILD spending spree :D

An ashtray maybe...I dunno.

The green thing looks like a tile to me. I am sure I am wrong

Hmm, the "bowl" looks like cast iron, and the "tile" looks like steel with enamel.

Almost looks like it could be used to cast metal, but I don't think that's right. Interesting. I suspect we'll have an answer before too long.

Naw...it's a dollar bill. I used to have one years ago :p

Found your reddit post.

Cigar or pipe ashtray.

Sorta looks like some kind of baking or cooking pan.

That is my guess as well.

It would work for a bacon press to make it cook flat and be able to pour off the rendered fat. But there are better examples of that out there.

A mold for casting bullets?

It the original mold to cast muffler bearings!

I will agree, pipe and cigar ashtray.

Insert out, cigars.

Insert in, pipe can lay in there on the glazing unscratched.

I have a crazy idea. Ask whoever gave it to you.



I am going with ashtray

spoon rest while cooking?

I'm going with ashtray and the smaller piece is the cover for when after you have filled it up with ash, put the top o to transport to the garbage or what ever they used to put ashes in.

The person who bought it found it at a thrift store and has no idea what it is either. Ash tray sounds most logical so far.

I'm guessing it's something to do with Japanese cooking and Sushi.

Maybe to strain a special sauce?

Man what a great gift idea!
 

It will literally take you one year to figure it out, just in time for next Christmas!
