Re: Whatzit?
Odd sized deer head; much smaller that the ones on the wall at my house in PA......but at least I got the statue aspect correct......

Different flowers are blooming around here almost as fast as I can photograph them. More to come but for now, a change of pace.

A portable contraption used in and with one of the old "wringer" type potbellied clothes washers, perhaps for scrubbing out tough soiling ?
Re: Whatzit?
Where they used in pairs?

Interesting answer. I can see it being used that way but no, not what it is.
When I saw the coat hanger like hooks my first thought was that it was hung in the outhouse to hold the corn cob and a roll of Joseph Gayetty's new invention, toilet paper rolls. That was not even close to what it is.

No, only one required for its intended use.

Re: Whatzit?
The roller on the left side has a "knotch" in it. That would normally indicate it is used as some kind of pulley for a belt or rope? The larger perforated ring to it's right appears to be some kind of holder. A holder for a cylindrical container that has something in it that is possibly hot/warm and/or something aromatic? Other wise why have holes?

Re: Whatzit?
No on pulley. No belt or rope. Holder is correct. Cylindrical container... you might call it that but I wouldn't. Hot is correct. Aromatic... yes, it holds something with a unique odor.

Antique clothes smoker for hunting clothes? Allegedly covers the scent.

Re: Whatzit?
This must be a good Whatzit. Nobody is getting close. Maybe a photo of it on the device it is used with will help.
A U.S. soldier in Normandy stands guard with the M2HB.
National Archives USA 1 January 1944 (Public Domain)
I once had the pleasure of crawling toward the machine gun placement while they were firing at us. When I got there I was disappointed. The machine gun mount had a rail limiting how low the machine guns could fire. I could not have been shot even if I had stood up (1963, Fort Polk, Louisiana.)
The smell of one being fired does have an odor, unique for me, maybe not so for someone who has been around a lot of machine guns.
