what is it?

Welcome to another installment of "WHAT IS IT?" where I ask you my dears to help me identify an old but otherwise interesting vintage object and hopefully figure out it's proper usage. 

Without further ado, this is the item in question:



  • The top part is made of brass that resembles a trivet
  • It is16" high with metal legs
  • It features a wooden handle
ok it does resemble a regular trivet but why the long legs?

    it looks like something you put in the fireplace or something you can heat things on - maybe?...

    it looks a lot like a tomato server my cousin got as a wedding gift. not really sure why it would have legs though.

    I vote for toaster. The semicircular part in the legs is interesting.
