I found this mystery item at The Big Sale in Medford, buried on the kitchen gadget table, on sale for 12 1/2 cents. Hey, it was half-price day.

I photographed it against a placemat, to show off the stainless steel sheet with holes in it.

On the back a sticker said “Made in Korea”, so this must be a finished item, not an orphaned part of something else.

I don’t usually buy things “on speculation”, but I just had to speculate about this.What is it? Who owned it before me? How old is it? What will I do with it? When will I put it in a garage sale?

June 13: UFO! Unidentified Found Object, that is.
