Our Old House

Most of the buried “treasure” in this house is nothing to write home about… old uninteresting books, a lonely gym shoe without a mate, a child’s coloring pages about the history of Memorial Day.  Most things that we find either leave us scratching our heads or send us straight to the trash.  This latest find is of the head-scratching variety.

Brandon found it between a wall and an old iron radiator and I had never seen anything quite like it.  No clue what it’s for, but I can’t toss it.  I’m fond of it.  Here are the specs -

• White 
• Ceramic
• 18” long
• 1.5” wide
• Approx. 1” deep
• Kind of heavy

My mom never ceases to amaze me.  I called her the other night to tell her about this find.  After sharing the above description she says, very matter-of-factly, “Yeah, that’s a _______.”  She had never seen one of these things either until her mother gave her one.

So my question is… What do you guys think we found??
