This probably isn't the correct place to ask this question but I figure
you all have a lot of experience in very diverse areas and someone might
recognize this mystery object.

Go to:
http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/279149565006


We found 11 of these in an old grain/equipment storage barn that is
probably close to a hundred years old.

It measures:
9-5/16" across the top
8-9/16" across the bottom
4-3/8" on each side

The side pieces are 5/8" wide
Top and bottom pieces are 3/8" wide.

The top and bottom bars are inset into a notch in the side bars and held
in place with one small brad at each corner.

It's hard to tell what the wood is. Maybe pine. It's very dried out and
feels almost as light as balsa wood.


Any ideas?

I don't know. It seems a bit small, but looks like a bee keepers
comb frame.

HA! That's my guess, too, but it IS small. Made me wonder if maybe it was
a child's project. (4H maybe?) How big are comb frames, do you know?
These appear to be unused since there doesn't seem to be wax residue in the
wood and they would reuse them, wouldn't they?

They were smaller before the super's as we know them today.
