Back before they used vacuums They took the throw rugs outside and beat the dust out of them. That's my guess

I saw something similar to this that was used to clean pots and pans. The chain like head of it was like using a brillo pad on pots and pans. It was on the show The Collectors and people had to guess what it was.

If you want confirmation that it is a vintage pot scrubber, then Google it 'vintage pot scrubber' and they have the exact photo of this item on there. Mystery solved!

Thanks Carole. Mystery solved is right. I have asked dozens of people and even submitted a photo to a newspaper column. There is no question after seeing the photos online. Thanks a million!

I have one and was told it was a pot scrubber, maybe for cast iron pots & pans.
