may we have the dimensions?

hmmm, why dovetail the sides, but nail the front?

is it's intended purpose to make a sound?

 

[Uncle Bob]

Not a bellows

 

[Uncle Bob]

It's not made to make a specific sound......I dunno why it was built that way...It's old

 

[YT2095]

is it a Keg of some sort, holding a Liquid?

 

[Uncle Bob]

Dos not hold a liquid.....Sorry BT didn't see the ?? It's roughly 4 1/2 x 3 x 3

 

[buckytom]

is the peg removable?

is the peg manipulated in any way for it's intended use?

 

[Uncle Bob]

A better picture.......

 

[Uncle Bob]

The peg is removable...

The peg is manipulated in its use...somewhat

 

[buckytom]

is the peg used to push something(s) into the box?

 

[Uncle Bob]

Not used to push anything into the box.....

 

[pacanis]

I'm wondering if the peg is used to push something out of the box... like maybe the other side is open.
Is it a mold of sorts?

 

[buckytom]

yes, may we see the back side? (the box's, just to be sure)

 

[Uncle Bob]

The peg is used to push something out...The other side is open...and it is a type of mold

But what?

 

[Uncle Bob]

Clue....Moo Moo

 

[YT2095]

making Cheese?
or Butter.

 

[pacanis]

Cube steak?
lol, I think it's a butter mold, too.

 

[YT2095]

aha moo moo, so it`s one of those, it`s a press to either squish out the whey or to shape a butter block.

 

[Uncle Bob]

Cha Ching!!!!!! YT.........It is a butter mold. Belonged to my great-grandfather...1874-1974...

You are next!

How big is it?
It looks like one of those African instruments you put your hand in and pull on a piece of stretched gut or something to make noise.
