hey your right Probably is, but what would it be doing in an old bottle dump

Jake,

that piece would have a very fine screen filling it. Used when cooking. If you were doing bacon it was used so you

would not get hit with any hot grease while cooking. Small doohickeys on the end would balance it on your pan in

two location and handle would also serve that purpose, keeping it on your pan, above food cooking. It blocked the grease, you were using to cook something, from splattering you or the stove.

Think, but not sure, it is called a "splatter guard."

have a good un.............
