I think it is used for drying tobacco leaves. It is made out of wood and it was used during colonial times.

I think it is a type of instrument that produces a sound similar to wind chimes.

It is a candle mold. Made in the late 1700’s – early 1800’s. A household article pioneers used to make candles. To have LIGHT!
