Found it at a thrift store and the mystery got the best of me, so I bought it. Any suggestions as to what it is? Thanks

Could be a device for drying baby bottles or canning jars. Turn them upside down on the dowels and let them dry. Just my thoughts.

I have something similar which I have nailed to my bedroom wall near my make-up chest which I use as a necklace and neck chain rack. It's perfect!! Now, I no longer have them in a basket entangling one another! Yippee!

It's not a pasta drying rack- I have one and they look a bit like that, but this design is not right for pasta. Pasta racks have a singular strip of dowels not a grid work of them. These are made for drying zip lock bags for re-use. You can make them with patterns found on sites, but Ikea and other stores used to sell them, too. Someone above mentioned it and she was right. But please don't try drying pasta on this. It would, indeed, tip over with a load of pasta, because it would already be tipped a bit and not flat on the counter if you put it on its side.

It is a boot dryer! turn your boots upside down and place them on the rack with the dowels in your boots.

It is a baby bottle dryer. We had one 25+ years ago.... ha ha but to keep those plastic bags and wash / reuse, how about to hold some bracelets and hair bows?

I was thinking it could be used to organize pan lids, pie plates, cookie sheets.

Would be tough to use to hold yarns, spools etc. It looks like an old bottle dryer. But if it looks handmade - by a Dad with a work shop ---it could be ANYTHING-----I like the cookie sheet organizer. The pegs are really even too close for jewelry---the necklaces would get tangled. I think whatever you decide to do w/ it is what it is. Good piece!

Looks like the display for dishes being sold at Kohls yesterday while I was shopping. One was sitting empty and I looked right at it and thought about it. I think that is exactly what you have.

bottle drying rack...husband makes wine..bottles have to be sterile..any of the above!my vote would be for baking pans, but it isn't even slightly soiled or stained.
