OUT, OUT, DAMN SPOT

I guess these photos demonstrate the principal that things have to look worse before they look better. We made good progress last weekend cleaning up the soot. The kitchen and living room are nearly done and both are put back together, curtains washed and hung. Next, all the other rooms, pick one. I'll save it for you.

All of the utensils and silver and dishes and pots and pans, well, you get the idea, everything had to be washed. It was great exploring and I was able to teach Jann a few things about old time kitchen utensils. But this one has me stumped. Anyone know what it is?

Looks kind of like the handle to take the "lid" off of a wood-burning stove. Only backwards. Yeah, I'm stumped, too.

Maybe an apple corer... Just place the left end in the core and twist?

I vote for removable pot handle.

How about a shoe horn?
