It looks like a mould of some sort, so I will have to go for a mould for making tools
But then again, that is probably too obvious, its probably something else.
O oh...just noticed two other votes up there, but whoever voted have NOT posted who they are...

MOLD!!??
good grief, Sue you must be one of them obsessive housekeepers...there is no mold in that picture!
TOoP/Bruce:
Hmmm...
A mold for making tools? Doesn't really look like any mold I've ever seen... If you were to put a wooden handle in one end and pour moltan metal into the other you will burn the handle and it won't stay on. Tools with a wooden handle are usually cast with a hole for the handle which is added later.
A tool for pouring mortar on bricks? Hard to see how that would be useful for that purpose. Mortar is usually applied with a trowel by hand from a hod. Nothing about this looks useful for that purpose.
A tool for loading large barrel antique shot guns? Why would there be a pour spout in the direction opposite to how the shot would then flow?
Device for adding nutrients into farm animals water and feed Possibly...
Tool for pouring hot molten metal out into cast iron molds? I'm not seeing it.
A device for feeding wild birds? It would seem rather overbuilt for that purpose.
Early plant watering device Somehow a hose, sprinkler, and a watering can seem much more convenient.
Early rain water gauge? As opposed to a gauge for measuring rain water later in the day? How would you get an accurate measurement once it is full?
Tool for mashing course fertilizer into powder? I suppose any large metallic lump could be used for that purpose.
Rodent trap? Spring traps have been around for a long time and would certainly seem to be more efficient for that purpose.
I will be curious to see the real use revealed...
