The MWTCA only accepts a verified source to support your answer, so one should be submitted with your answer, such as a patent, catalog entry, tool book reference, or a respectable website on the subject. Do not let these requirements prevent you from having fun and submitting educated answers on the subject without verification, we can worry about references later. All answers are welcome, as well as healthy debates regarding "What's It". If a verified and referenced answer is not arrived at by the end of each month's "What's It" project, a random draw will be performed for a "One Year MWTCA Club Membership". Only Patriot Woodworker's who participate in this "What's It" topic will be included in the random draw. Additional What's It Rules Unless you are completely sure what this item is, please avoid "definitive statements" that appear that you are without a doubt claiming that you know what the item is. For example stating, "this item is called a "widget xx" used for "insert purpose here". If you are making a definitive statement you must accompany your statement with evidence or proof from a secondary source. An example of acceptable statements within the realm of having fun and educated guesses would be something like this, "I believe it could be", or "It appears it's made for this or that", etc etc etc...

October 5, 20205 yr comment_244406 Thats a rolling pin for Pastries LOL. I'm an ex full time military cook. Id recognize something like that anywhere. Its just a wooden version of the new ones. Well it can either be used for pastries or pasta. How ever the one in the OP is I'm assuming a pasta noodle roller. (Note a pasta roller... can be any size or depth the individual person wants it to be and for its intended use and purpose.) Unless this is a factory model design which it doesn't look like.

October 5, 20205 yr comment_244437 anyone else note the metallic appearing pieces on the end and the split about 1/3 from the left side? Report
October 5, 20205 yr Author comment_244439 I don't think it's anything for cooking guys. Just think of the wash up, it has metal ends, as if for enclosed bearings, constant washing would ruin the mechanism, I'm still leaning toward Frederick's example. Report
October 5, 20205 yr comment_244440 Then that only leaves one option.... Its a rolling strainer to squeeze out the water. If it isn't for cooking and meant for washing. Apply pressure to the pin the grooving in the pin is for the water to drain out when pressed. That would make more sense. If its not a pasta roller. Report
