This is an antique or vintage wood handled stainer. While there is no manufacturer name or direct indication of age, we are guessing this piece dates to the 1920s-1940s period. The wood handle has a black end with a hole through it for ease in hanging, then a white stripe followed by a natural light wood colored varnished area, although much of this varnish/coloring has peeled away (and is still peeling up) showing the raw wood underneath. The handle is capped by a metal cap prior to the metal strainer portion which has an open metal diamond shape below the strainer and two elongated diamond shaped "ears" above the strainer (also possibly for ease in hanging from that end).

Full piece measures about 8 1/2 inches long x 2 3/4 inches wide (width of strainer opening), and sits about 2 1/8 inches in height when laying on a table, to the upper end of the cone-shaped strainer.

In old, vintage, used condition, but with a great overall look. The handle, in addition to peeling noted above, has other evidence of wear including a small round elongated worn/chipped spot (3/16 inch wide) on the black end, crazing throughout the varnish and white stripe, other spots/dirt/discoloration/use wear throughout. The metal portions have the expected worn/tarnished look and feel with dark spotting. The strainer part is in very nice used shape, with no holes or tears but overall wear, spots of dirt/discoloration, etc. There is a rounded bumpiness to the cone shape of the strainer as to be expected from things sitting in the strainer while the water dripped out from use.

A nice used piece "with charatcter".
