WTH?

What the heck is this??

 

Besides a big, fat, rusted out mess??

 

Hmmmm. . . .
I don't know either.
It was in the bottom of a 'junk' box my mom ended up with at an auction. . . Blue Mule Auction of course :)

 

I still have no clue what this once was suppose to be but its a place to empty out my pockets and hold my keys now :)
