Any guesses to what this could be? Peter, the kids and I were at Goomeri for the Pumpkin Festival a couple of years ago and we stumbled across this item in one of the Antique stores. They were used in the old horse driven coaches, filled with hot coals and placed under the feet of travellers. Fancy Foot warmers for coaches.
Wow, I've never seen one of these and it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have learnt something today. I guess you just need a horse and cart now!!
ReplyDeleteHappy days.

That is very cool.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby, son and I passed through and even actually stopped at Goomeri on our last trip to Bowen from Newcastle. I really liked it there. Hamburgers were huge.
Love your treasure, I have never seen one of those before. It is fabulous.
Have a great week.
Oh wow... I was going to guess a turning thing for doing pottery.... what a lovely item to have...

Now that is a fancy foot warmer!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good mystery item on "Collectors". I've never seen one before.
ReplyDeleteWow isn't that a neat item , it is rather fancy so must have been for a very fancy coach . Thanks for sharing .
ReplyDeleteThat is a great treasure. The wood looks lovely.
